MDKSA-2005:077: cdrecord |

Check for the version of the cdrecord package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:077 (cdrecord). Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that cdrecord created temporary files in an insecure manner if DEBUG was enabled in /etc/cdrecord/rscsi. If the default value was used (which stored the debug output file in /tmp), a symbolic link attack could be used to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the rights of the user invoking cdrecord. Please note that by default this configuration file does not exist in Mandriva Linux so unless you create it and enable DEBUG, this does not affect you. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
