A new lm-sensors vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-172-1 August 23, 2005
lm-sensors vulnerabilities
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13887
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
The following packages are affected:
lm-sensors
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.8.8-7ubuntu2.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña noticed that the pwmconfig script
created temporary files in an insecure manner. This could allow
a symlink attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with full
root privileges since pwmconfig is usually executed by root.
