Mandriva Advisories

Package name tcltk
Date September 23rd, 2002
Advisory ID MDKSA-2002:060
Affected versions 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2
Synopsis Updated tcltk packages fix local vulnerabilities

Problem Description

Some problems were discovered with the Tcl/Tk development environment.
The expect application would search for its libraries in /var/tmp prior
to searching in other directories, which could allow a local user to
gain root privilege by writing a trojan library and waiting for the
root user to run the mkpasswd utility. This is fixed in version 5.32
of expect. A similiar vulnerability has been fixed in the tcltk
package which searched for its libraries in the current working
directory prior to searching in other directories. This could be
used to execute arbitrary code by local users through the use of
a trojan library.
