Check for the version of the sharutils package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2002:052 (sharutils). The uudecode utility creates output files without checking to see if it is about to write to a symlink or pipe. This could be exploited by a local attacker to overwrite files or lead to privilege escalation if users decode data into share directories, such as /tmp. This update fixes this vulnerability by checking to see if the destination output file is a symlink or pipe.
