-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory ________________________________________________________________________ Package name: util-linux Date: November 1st, 2001 Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:084 Affected versions: 8.0, 8.1 ________________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Tarhon-Onu Victor found a problem in /bin/login's PAM implementation. It stored the value of a static pwent buffer across PAM calls, and when used with some PAM modules in non-default configurations (ie. using pam_limits), it would overwrite the buffer and cause the user to get the credentials of another user. Thanks to Olaf Kirch for providing the patch to fix the problem. ________________________________________________________________________ References: ________________________________________________________________________ Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this with the command: rpm --checksig package.rpm You can get the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG signature is performed automatically for you.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm". You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites listed at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3. Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for Mandrake Linux 8.0, look for it in "updates/8.0/RPMS/". Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download them. Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to update.
