Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : netatalk (MDKSA-2004:121)

low Nessus Plugin ID 15601

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The etc2ps.sh script, part of the netatalk package, creates files in /tmp with predicatable names which could allow a local attacker to use symbolic links to point to a valid file on the filesystem which could lead to the overwriting of arbitrary files if etc2ps.sh is executed by someone with enough privilege.

The updated packages are patched to prevent this problem.

Solution

Update the affected netatalk and / or netatalk-devel packages.
