                 Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           utempter
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:031
 Date:                   April 19th, 2004

 Affected versions:	 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
			 Multi Network Firewall 8.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Steve Grubb discovered two potential issues in the utempter program:
 
 1) If the path to the device contained /../ or /./ or //, the                 
 program was not exiting as it should. It would be possible to use something 
 like /dev/../tmp/tty0, and then if /tmp/tty0 were deleted and symlinked 
 to another important file, programs that have root privileges that do no 
 further validation can then overwrite whatever the symlink pointed to.
                                                                                
 2) Several calls to strncpy without a manual termination of the string.
 This would most likely crash utempter.
 
 The updated packages are patched to correct these problems.
