Título:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:620
Resumen:	NOSUMMARY
Descripción:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:620. The man package, which includes the utilities man, apropos, and whatis is used to read most of the documentation available on a Linux system. Jack Lloyd found[1] a local vulnerability in the man utility. Because of a problem with a value returned by the my_xsprintf() function, man could try to execute a program called unsafe when reading a manpage file with certain characteristics. If an attacker can put a malicious executable file called unsafe in the system PATH and let a user open a specially created manpage, it could run arbitrary commands with the privileges of this user. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/314700 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:620 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : High
