Category: Mandriva Local Security Checks Risk factor: Low Added: 12 Mar 2010
Synopsis:

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDVSA-2010:061 (ncpfs).

Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in ncpfs:
sutil/ncpumount.c in ncpumount in ncpfs 2.2.6 produces certain detailed error messages about the results of privileged file-access attempts, which allows local users to determine the existence of arbitrary files via the mountpoint name (CVE-2010-0790). The (1) ncpmount, (2) ncpumount, and (3) ncplogin programs in ncpfs 2.2.6 do not properly create lock files, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (application failure) via unspecified vectors that trigger the creation of a /etc/mtab~ file that persists
after the program exits (CVE-2010-0791). Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.
The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
