Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: cpio
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2005:032
Date: February 10th, 2005

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 9.2, Corporate 3.0,
Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability in cpio was discovered where cpio would create world- writeable files when used in -o/--create mode and giving an output file (with -O). This would allow any user to modify the created cpio archive. The updated packages have been patched so that cpio now respects the current umask setting of the user.
