Package name webmin
Date September 22nd, 2004
Advisory ID MDKSA-2004:101
Affected versions 9.2, 10.0, CS2.1
Synopsis Updated webmin packages fix vulnerabilities

Problem Description

A vulnerability in webmin was discovered by Ludwig Nussel. A temporary
directory was used in webmin, however it did not check for the previous
owner of the directory. This could allow an attacker to create the
directory and place dangerous symbolic links inside.

The updated packages are patched to prevent this problem.
