                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           util-linux
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:047
Date:                   August 8th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
                        Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Michal Zalewski found a vulnerability in the util-linux package with
 the chfn utility.  This utility allows users to modify some information
 in the /etc/passwd file, and is installed setuid root.  Using a
 carefully crafted attack sequence, an attacker can exploit a complex
 file locking and modification race that would allow them to make
 changes to the /etc/passwd file.  To successfully exploit this
 vulnerability and obtain privilege escalation, there is a need for some
 administrator interaction, and the password file must over over 4kb in
 size; the attacker's entry cannot be in the last 4kb of the file.
