                    Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Package name:           nedit
    Date:                   April 25th, 2001
    Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2001:042
    
    Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Problem Description:
    
     A temporary file vulnerability exists in NEdit, the Nirvana Editor.
     When printing the entire text or selected parts of the text within the
     editor, nedit creates a temporary file in an insecure manner.  This
     could be exploited to gain access to other user privileges including
     root.
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
    the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:
      rpm --checksig package.rpm
    You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
      http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
    If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
    signature is performed automatically for you.

    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
    
    If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
    of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".
    
    You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
    listed at:
    
      http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
    
    Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
    For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
    Linux-Mandrake 8.0, look for it in "updates/8.0/RPMS/".  Updated source
    RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
    them.
    
    Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
    update.
