Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated mount package available
Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:058-04
Issue date: 2001-04-25
Updated on: 2001-05-02
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: mount swapon swap permissions

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated mount packages fixing a potential security problem are
available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
3. Problem description:
If any swap files were created during installation of Red Hat Linux
7.1 (they were created during updates if the user requested it),
they were world-readable, meaning every user could read data in the
swap file(s), possibly including passwords.
The affected swap files are called /mountpoint/SWAP and
/mountpoint/SWAP-(numeral)
Also, this release of mount enforces sane permissions on swap space.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only
those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs
which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated.
Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current
directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. 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.
