1. Problem Summary(From the BugTraq database at securityfocus.com,id#2184)

   A /tmp file race condition vulnerability exists.  Squid can be
   set up to send emails notifying the administrator of any updates.
   Whenever the email is created, files are created insecurely
   in the /tmp directory and the pre-existence of these files is
   not queried.  Usually, the file creations occur when the system clock
   is reporting an incorrect time or a development version of squid is
   used.  Therefore, it is possible for a user with malicious motives to
   guess the handle of a future /tmp file, and create a symbolic link to a
   file writable by the UID of the squid process, thus overwriting a file
   owned by the squid user, or appending to and corrupting the file.

2. Solution

  Update the package from our ftp server by running the following command:

  rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename

  Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:

ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/squid-2.3.STABLE4-1.i386.rpm

  The source RPM can be downloaded here:


ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/squid-2.3.STABLE4-1.src.rpm

  **Note: You must rebuild and install the RPM if you choose to download
  and install the SRPM.  Simply installing the SRPM alone WILL NOT CLOSE
  THE SECURITY HOLE.

 Please verify the MD5 checksums of the updates before you install:

  MD5 sum                               Package Name
