Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: cpio
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:032-1
Date: February 11th, 2005
Original Advisory Date: February 10th, 2005
Affected versions: 10.1
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability in cpio was discovered where cpio would create world- writeable files when used in -o/--create mode and giving an output file (with -O). This would allow any user to modify the created cpio archive. The updated packages have been patched so that cpio now respects the current umask setting of the user.

Update:

The updated cpio packages for 10.1, while they would install with urpmi on the commandline, would not install via rpmdrake. The updated packages correct that.
