Mandriva Advisories

Package name cpio
Date February 10th, 2005
Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:032
Affected versions 9.2, 10.0, 10.1, CS2.1, CS3.0
Synopsis Updated cpio packages fix vulnerability

Problem Description

A vulnerability in cpio was discovered where cpio would create world-
writeable files when used in -o/--create mode and giving an output
file (with -O). This would allow any user to modify the created cpio
archive. The updated packages have been patched so that cpio now
respects the current umask setting of the user.
