Red Hat Linux 7: RHSA-2002:148-06 High: Tcl/Tk Local Privilege Escalation

red hat
Calendar Grey August 12, 2002
Dist Redhat Esm H88
The latest updates for Tcl/Tk within the Red Hat ecosystem address critical local security flaws that might allow for unwarranted elevation of privileges.
Updated Tcl/Tk packages for Red Hat Linux 7 and 7.1 fix two localvulnerabilities.

Solution

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

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 directory *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.

5. Bug IDs fixed ( for more info):

22187 - Tcl/Tk build env doesn't work well with auto build environment 28224 - expect searches /var/tmp before /usr/lib 28226 - tcl looks in the current directory for libs
