Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: lm_sensors security update

Notes

Topic

Updated lm_sensors packages that fix an insecure file issue are now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Details

The lm_sensors package includes a collection of modules for general SMBus access and hardware monitoring. This package requires special support which is not in standard version 2.2 kernels. A bug was found in the way the pwmconfig tool creates temporary files. It is possible that a local attacker could leverage this flaw to overwrite arbitrary files located on the system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-2672 to this issue. Users of lm_sensors are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch that resolves this issue.
