Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:038
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : groff
Date : February 8, 2006
Affected: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

The Trustix Secure Linux team discovered a vulnerability in the groffer
utility, part of the groff package. It created a temporary directory
in an insecure way which allowed for the exploitation of a race
condition to create or overwrite files the privileges of the user
invoking groffer.

Likewise, similar temporary file issues were fixed in the pic2graph
and eqn2graph programs which now use mktemp to create temporary
files, as discovered by Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
