                    Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Package name:           ispell
    Date:                   June 20th, 2001
    Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2001:058
    
    Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1
    ________________________________________________________________________
    
    Problem Description:
    
     The ispell program uses mktemp() to open temporary files.  This makes
     it vulnerable to symlink attacks.  The program now has a patch from
     OpenBSD applied that uses mkstemp() instead, and switches gets() to
     fgets() for dealing with user input.

    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 Mandrake Linux 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
    Mandrake Linux 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.
