Package name inn Date January 10th, 2001 Advisory ID MDKSA-2001:010 Affected versions 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 Synopsis Updated inn packages fix potential temp file race

Problem Description

WireX discovered a potential temporary file race condition in the inn
program. This condition is due partly to the way inn is compiled and
configured on some Linux distributions, including Linux-Mandrake, and
partly due to the lack of information in the inn package detailing
potential security problems if you do not tell inn to use a private
temporary directory. The patch supplied by WireX that creates
temporary files correctly has been applied, and the temporary directory
that inn uses has been moved from /usr/tmp to /var/spool/news/tmp which
is available solely to the news user which inn runs as.
