TITLE:
Conectiva update for ml85p

READ ONLINE:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/9187/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Conectiva Linux 8
Conectiva Linux 7.0

DESCRIPTION:
Conectiva has issued an updated version of the ml85p printer driver.
This fixes a vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious,
local users to escalate their privileges on a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to insecure creation of temporary
files, which potentially could be exploited via a symlink attack to
create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user
"root".

However, successful exploitation requires that a user is a member of
the "sys" group.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages:
