                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           cdrecord
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:058-1
Date:                   May 21st, 2003
Original Advisory Date: May 15th, 2003
Affected versions:	8.2, 9.0, 9.1, Corporate Server 2.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A vulnerability in cdrecord was discovered that can be used to obtain
 root access because Mandrake Linux ships with the cdrecord binary
 suid root and sgid cdwriter.
 
 Updated packages are provided that fix this vulnerability.  You may
 also elect to remove the suid and sgid bits from cdrecord manually,
 which can be done by executing, as root:
 
   chmod ug-s /usr/bin/cdrecord
 
 This is not required to protect yourself from this particular
 vulnerability, however.
  
Update:

 Two additional format string problems were discovered by Olaf Kirch
 and an updated patch has been applied to fix those problems as well.
