1. Summary:

Updated rpm packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

3. Description:

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a command line driven package management
system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and
updating software packages.

It was discovered that RPM did not remove setuid and setgid bits set on
binaries when upgrading or removing packages. A local attacker able to
create hard links to binaries could use this flaw to keep those binaries on
the system, at a specific version level and with the setuid or setgid bit
set, even if the package providing them was upgraded or removed by a system
administrator. This could have security implications if a package was
upgraded or removed because of a security flaw in a setuid or setgid
program. (CVE-2005-4889, CVE-2010-2059)

All users of rpm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
