                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           sharutils
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:052
Date:                   August 14th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
                        Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 The uudecode utility creates output files without checking to see if it
 is about to write to a symlink or pipe.  This could be exploited by a
 local attacker to overwrite files or lead to privilege escalation if
 users decode data into share directories, such as /tmp.  This update
 fixes this vulnerability by checking to see if the destination output
 file is a symlink or pipe.

FTP mirrors can be obtained from:

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:
