                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           mtools
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:016
 Date:                   February 25th, 2004

 Affected versions:	 9.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Sebastian Krahmer found that the mformat program, when installed
 suid root, can create any file with 0666 permissions as root, and that
 it also does not drop privileges when reading local configuration
 files.
 
 The updated packages remove the suid bit from mformat.
