security advisorymoderatesecurity issueFedora 9 R 2.7.2 Moderate Advisory: Unsafe Temp Directory Issue
Update to R 2.7.2, also fixes security issue with unsafe temp directory handling in javareconf script.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-7670 2008-09-05 10:59:55 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : R Product : Fedora 9 Version : 2.7.2 Release : 1.fc9 URL : https://www.r-project.org/ Summary : A language for data analysis and graphics Description : A language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, ...). R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. For computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked and called at run time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to R 2.7.2, also fixes security issue with unsafe temp directory handling in javareconf script. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Aug 29 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway 2.7.2-1 - update to 2.7.2 - fix spec for alpha compile (bz 458931) - fix security issue in javareconf script (bz 460658) * Mon Jul 7 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway 2.7.1-1 - update to 2.7.1 * Wed May 28 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway 2.7.0-5 - add cairo-devel to BR/R, so that cairo backend gets built * Wed May 21 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway 2.7.0-4 - fixup sed invocation added in -3 - make -devel package depend on base R = version-release - fix bad paths in package html files * Wed May 21 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway 2.7.0-3 - fix poorly constructedfile paths in html/packages.html (bz 442727) * Tue May 13 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway 2.7.0-2 - add patch from Martyn Plummer to avoid possible bad path hardcoding in /usr/bin/Rscript - properly handle ia64 case (bz 446181) * Mon Apr 28 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway 2.7.0-1 - update to 2.70 - rcompgen is no longer a standalone package - redirect javareconf to /dev/null (bz 442366) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #460658 - R: Insecure auxiliary /tmp file usage (symlink attack possible) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460658 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
