Fedora - Three Update Notifications:
1. Fedora Core 4 Update: lm_sensors-2.9.1-3.FC4.1
2. Fedora Core 3 Update: libgda-1.0.4-3.1
3. Fedora Core 3 Update: lm_sensors-2.8.7-2.FC3.1
Detail
======
Update notification summaries:
1. A bug was found in the pwmconfig tool which uses temporary
files in an insecure manner. The pwconfig tool writes a
configuration file which may be world readable for a short
period of time. This file contains various information about
the setup of lm_sensors on that machine. It could be
modified within the short window to contain configuration
data that would either render lm_sensors unusable or in the
worst case even hang the machine resulting in a DoS
2. Resolved CVE-2005-2958, libgda format string issue.
3. A bug was found in the pwmconfig tool which uses temporary
files in an insecure manner. The pwconfig tool writes a
configuration file which may be world readable for a short
period of time. This file contains various information about
the setup of lm_sensors on that machine. It could be
modified within the short window to contain configuration
data that would either render lm_sensors unusable or in the
worst case even hang the machine resulting in a DoS
