Subject: Kernel fchown() exploit status?
Date: Fri, 09 Jul 2004 06:06:44 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40EDB764.6060107@securesystem.info> (raw)

There was a recent security announcment regarding a vulnerability with 
the fchown function.

Only a few distrobutions (red hat/suse) have fixed the issue, but I've 
yet to see a general patch for it.

Information regarding the issue is here:

http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/16599

I searched around the archive databases, but did not come up with it 
(unless I skipped over something accidentaly)

Thank you for your time and appologies if this is a duplicate.
