Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated semi packages fix flim vulnerability
Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:344-01
Issue date: 2004-08-18
Updated on: 2004-08-18
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0422
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
Updated semi packages that fix vulnerabilities in flim temporary file handling are now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - noarch
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - noarch
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - noarch
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - noarch
3. Problem description:
The semi package includes a MIME library for GNU Emacs and XEmacs used by the wl mail package.
Tatsuya Kinoshita discovered a vulnerability in flim, an emacs library for working with Internet messages included in the semi package. Temporary files were being created without taking adequate precautions, and therefore a local user could potentially overwrite files with the privileges of the user running emacs. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0422 to this issue.
Users of semi are advised to upgrade to these packages, which contain a backported patch fixing this issue.
