NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRAKE_MDKSA-2001-030.NASL description Insecure handling of temporary file permissions can lead to other users on a multi-user system being able to read the documents being converted. This is due to sgml-tools creating temporary files without any special permissions. The updated packages create a secure temporary directory first, which is readable only by the owner, and then create the temporary files in that secure directory. Update : The packages for Linux-Mandrake 7.1 and Corporate Server 1.0.1 had a dependency on the wrong version of sgml-common which made it impossible to upgrade the software. New packages have been released that fix this problem. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 61904 published 2012-09-06 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/61904 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : sgml-tools (MDKSA-2001:030-1) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Mandrake Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:030. # The text itself is copyright (C) Mandriva S.A. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(61904); script_version("1.5"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/08/02 13:32:46"); script_cve_id("CVE-2001-0416"); script_xref(name:"MDKSA", value:"2001:030-1"); script_name(english:"Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : sgml-tools (MDKSA-2001:030-1)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated package"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "Insecure handling of temporary file permissions can lead to other users on a multi-user system being able to read the documents being converted.
