- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : lvm10
Vulnerability : insecure temporary directory
Need reboot : no
Debian-Edu-specific : no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0972
DSA ID : DSA-583-1
DSA URL : http://www.debian.org/security/2004/dsa-583
Trustix developers discovered insecure temporary file creation in a
supplemental script in the lvm10 package that didn't check for
existing temporary directories, allowing local users to overwrite
files via a symlink attack.
We recommend that you update your lvm10 package.
Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------
Make sure the line
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
is present in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run 'apt-get update' to
update your package lists. Then run
'apt-get install lvm10'
to upgrade your lvm10 package.
