An updated libtool package has been released for Red Hat Linux 7.2 - 8.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated libtool resolves security vulnerability
Advisory ID: FLSA:1268
Issue date: 2004-05-18
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: Security
Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1268
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated libtool packages that fix local tmp vulnerabilities are now available.
2. Relevent releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
3. Problem description:
The libtool package contains the GNU libtool, a set of shell scripts which automatically configure UNIX and UNIX-like architectures to generically build shared libraries. Libtool provides a consistent, portable interface which simplifies the process of using shared libraries.
If you are developing programs which will use shared libraries, you should install libtool.
The chmod utility has a race (that access to the temporary directory could be gained after it is created but before it is chmoded)
Fedora Legacy would like to thank Seth Vidal for bringing this issue to our attention.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:
yum update
or to use apt:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content. Please visit http://www fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to configure yum
and apt-get.
