GCVE-110-MAGEIA-2014-249
Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published June 4, 2014
Updated chkrootkit package fixes security vulnerability: The chkrootkit script contains a flaw that allows a local attacker to create an executable in /tmp that will be run by the user running chkrootkit (usually root), allowing the attacker to escalate privileges (CVE-2014-0476). The Mageia 3 update also eliminates the false positive identification of a rootkit in /sbin/init (mga#6699).
