Problem Description The util-linux package vulnerable to privilege escalation when the "ptmptmp" file is not removed properly when using "chfn" utility. 2. Vulnerable Supported Versions System Package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to util-linux-2.11l-5.1.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to util-linux-2.11l-5.1.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to util-linux-2.11l-5.1.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to util-linux-2.11l-5.1.i386.rpm 3. Solution The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand. 4.
