=====================================================================

1. Summary:

Updated ccs packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red
Hat Cluster Suite 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Cluster Suite 4AS - i386, ia64, ppc, x86_64
Red Hat Cluster Suite 4ES - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Cluster Suite 4WS - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Description:

The Cluster Configuration System provides the ability for nodes in a
cluster to obtain information about the cluster and each other. ccs_tool is
a program for making online updates to the cluster configuration file.

An insecure temporary file use flaw was found in ccs_tool. A local attacker
could use this flaw to conduct a symbolic link attack, allowing them to
overwrite (with the output of ccs_tool) an arbitrary file writable by the
victim running ccs_tool. (CVE-2008-6552)

All ccs users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this
issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
