| Title: | RHSA-2005:598: sysreport security update (Low) |
| Description: | Sysreport is a utility that gathers information about a system's hardware and configuration. The information can then be used for diagnostic purposes and debugging.
Bill Stearns discovered a bug in the way sysreport creates temporary files. It is possible that a local attacker could obtain sensitive information about the system when sysreport is run. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CAN-2005-2104 to this issue.
Users of sysreport should update to this erratum package, which contains a patch that resolves this issue.
