Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:008 (jmcce)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to jmcce announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:008. A problem exists in the jmcce program that is used for Chinese text on the console. jmcce is installed setuid root and places log files in /tmp because jmcce does not perform suitable checking on the files it writes to and because it uses a predictable logfile name, an attacker could exploit this to arbitrarily overwrite any file on the system. Affected versions: 8.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2002:008 Risk factor : High
