Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.831606
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Update for ncpfs MDVSA-2012:084 (ncpfs)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'ncpfs'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'ncpfs'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in ncpfs:

ncpfs 2.2.6 and earlier attempts to use (1) ncpmount to append to
the /etc/mtab file and (2) ncpumount to append to the /etc/mtab.tmp
file without first checking whether resource limits would interfere,
which allows local users to trigger corruption of the /etc/mtab file
via a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a related issue to
CVE-2011-1089 (CVE-2011-1679).

ncpmount in ncpfs 2.2.6 and earlier does not remove the /etc/mtab~

lock file after a failed attempt to add a mount entry, which has
unspecified impact and local attack vectors (CVE-2011-1680).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
ncpfs on Mandriva Linux 2011.0,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
