Red Hat Linux RHSA-2001:044-08 Moderate Samba File Overwrite Issue

red hat
Calendar Grey May 15, 2001
Dist Redhat Esm H88
New samba patches released by Red Hat tackle the /tmp concurrency flaws that allow local users to manipulate and overwrite files.
By exploiting these vulnerabilities,local users could overwrite any file in the system.

Solution

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directly *only* contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

Again, note that the packages for Red Hat Linux 6.2 requre an updated logrotate package.
