RedHat: Low: dump security update
Summary
Summary
Dump examines files in a file system, determines which ones need to be backed up, and copies those files to a specified disk, tape, or other storage medium. A flaw was found with dump file locking. A malicious local user could manipulate the file lock in such a way as to prevent dump from running. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CAN-2002-1914 to this issue. Users of dump should upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a patch to resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
