Type: Security Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2001-03-31
Last updated on: 2001-04-09
Affected Products: Red Hat Linux 6.2

OVAL: N/A
CVEs (cve.mitre.org): CVE-2001-0736

Details

Updated pine packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.0, 6.2,
and 5.2. These new updated packages fix temporary file creation issues
in the pine mail client and the pico text editor that comes with pine.

Previous versions of the pine email client, and the pico editor have
had various temporary file creation issues that allow any user with
local system access, to cause files owned by anyone including root
to potentially be overwritten if the right set of conditions are met.


Solution

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directly *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
