- Updated Internet Message packages are available that fix the insecure
- handling of temporary files.
-
- [Updated 9 April 2003]
- Added packages for Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation, Red Hat Enterprise
- Linux ES, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS.
-
- Internet Message (IM) consists of a set of user interface commands and
- backend Perl5 libraries to integrate email and the NetNews user interface.
- These commands are designed to be used from both the Mew mail reader for
- Emacs and the command line.
-
- A vulnerability has been discovered by Tatsuya Kinoshita in the way two IM
- utilities create temporary files. By anticipating the names used to
- create files and directories stored in the /tmp directory, it may be
- possible for a local attacker to corrupt or modify data as another user.
-
- Users of IM are advised to install these packages which contain a
- backported patch to correct these issues.
