________________________________________________________________________

                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:		apcupsd
Date:			December 12th, 2000
Advisory ID:		MDKSA-2000:077

Affected versions:	7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A problem exists with the apcupsd daemon.  During startup, apcupsd
 creates a PID file in /var/run with the ID of the daemon process.
 This file is used by the shutdown script to kill the daemon process.
 The /var/run/apcupsd.pid file is created with mode 666 permissions,
 meaning it is world-writeable.  A malicious user can overwrite the
 file with arbitrary process IDs and those proceses will be killed
 instead of the
 apcupsd process during the restart or stop of the apcupsd daemon.
________________________________________________________________________

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:
  rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

Linux-Mandrake 7.2: 13d0d7582dc9539fd43165caea173bc0
7.2/RPMS/apcupsd-3.8.0-1.1mdk.i586.rpm
4312c2eea1bc86e720c05be44555bd83
7.2/SRPMS/apcupsd-3.8.0-1.1mdk.src.rpm
________________________________________________________________________

To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».  

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one 
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".  

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:

  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.  

Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/"
directory.   For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM
package for Linux-Mandrake 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/RPMS/".
Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not
need to download them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to 
update.
