 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2012:030
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : systemd
 Date    : March 16, 2012
 Affected: 2011.
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in systemd:
 
 A TOCTOU race condition was found in the way the systemd-logind
 login manager of the systemd, a system and service manager for Linux,
 performed removal of particular records related with user session upon
 user logout. A local attacker could use this flaw to conduct symbolic
 link attacks, potentially leading to removal of arbitrary system file
 (CVE-2012-1174).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
