Package name cfengine
Date October 13th, 2005
Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:184
Affected versions 10.1, CS2.1, CS3.0, 10.2, 2006.0
Synopsis Updated cfengine packages fix temporary file vulnerabilities

Problem Description

Javier Fern�ndez-Sanguino Pe�a discovered several insecure temporary
file uses in cfengine <= 1.6.5 and <= 2.1.16 which allows local users
to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files
used by vicf.in. (CAN-2005-2960)

In addition, Javier discovered the cfmailfilter and cfcron.in files
for cfengine <= 1.6.5 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files
via a symlink attack on temporary files (CAN-2005-3137)

The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
