1. Topic:
A race vulnerability exists in the diskcheck package.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Powertools 6.0 - noarch
Red Hat Powertools 6.1 - noarch
Red Hat Powertools 6.2 - noarch
3. Problem description:
A race vulnerability exists where a user can replace the tempfile
used by diskcheck with symlinks to other files on the system, making
it possible to corrupt those files.
The update fixes this problem. All users of diskcheck should update
to the version listed below.
NOTE: The diskcheck package in Powertools 7 is not vulnerable.
4. Solution:
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filename]
where filename is the name of the RPM.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
11724 - tempfile has easily guessed name and follows symlinks
6. RPMs required:
Red Hat Powertools 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2:
noarch:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/powertools/6.2/noarch/diskcheck-3.1.1-10.6x.noarch.rpm
sources:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/powertools/6.2/SRPMS/diskcheck-3.1.1-10.6x.src.rpm

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm --checksig <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
