Product  : Fedora Core 4

Name  : lm_sensors

Version  : 2.9.1

Release  : 3.FC4.1

Summary  : Hardware monitoring tools.

Description :

The lm_sensors package includes a collection of modules for general SMBus

access and hardware monitoring. NOTE: this requires special support which

is not in standard 2.2-vintage kernels.

Update Information:

The lm_sensors package includes a collection of modules for

general SMBus access and hardware monitoring. NOTE: this

package requires special support which is not in standard

2.2-vintage kernels.

A bug was found in the pwmconfig tool which uses temporary

files in an insecure manner. The pwconfig tool writes a

configuration file which may be world readable for a short

period of time. This file contains various information about

the setup of lm_sensors on that machine. It could be

modified within the short window to contain configuration

data that would either render lm_sensors unusable or in the

worst case even hang the machine resulting in a DoS. The

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned

the name CVE-2005-2672 to this issue.

Users of lm_sensors are advised to upgrade to these updated

packages, which contain a patch which resolves this issue.
