A new update is available for Fedora Core - [SECURITY] Fedora Core 4 Update: lm_sensors-2.9.1-3.FC4.1. Here the announcement:
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-1053
2005-11-07
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 4
Name : lm_sensors
Version : 2.9.1
Release : 3.FC4.1
Summary : Hardware monitoring tools.
Description :
The lm_sensors package includes a collection of modules for general SMBus
access and hardware monitoring. NOTE: this requires special support which
is not in standard 2.2-vintage kernels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The lm_sensors package includes a collection of modules for
general SMBus access and hardware monitoring. NOTE: this
package requires special support which is not in standard
2.2-vintage kernels.
A bug was found in the pwmconfig tool which uses temporary
files in an insecure manner. The pwconfig tool writes a
configuration file which may be world readable for a short
period of time. This file contains various information about
the setup of lm_sensors on that machine. It could be
modified within the short window to contain configuration
data that would either render lm_sensors unusable or in the
worst case even hang the machine resulting in a DoS. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned
the name CVE-2005-2672 to this issue.
Users of lm_sensors are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a patch which resolves this issue.
