----------------------------------------------------------------------- Immunix OS Security Advisory Packages updated: man, mktemp (Immunix OS 6.2 only) Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0 Bugs fixed: immunix/1609, immunix/1610 Date: May 30, 2001 Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-021-01 Author: Steve Beattie <steveat_private> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Tim Robbins and zenith parsec found a buffer overflow in the version of man included in all versions of Immunix OS. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-security-audit&m=97135291522462&w=2 and http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/184534. Because this buffer overflow does not occur on the stack, StackGuard does not prevent this from being exploited. Immunix OS 6.2 users should note that they need to apply the mktemp update as well. The updated mktemp package provides the "-d" parameter to safely create temporary directories.
