Description:
MandrakeSoft has issued updated packages for xfsdump. These fix a vulnerability allowing local users to escalate their privileges on a vulnerable system.

The problem is that the program "xfsdq" saves quota information into a file, which is created in an unsafe manner.

Solution:
Upgrade automatically using MandrakeUpdate or manually by downloading the updated packages from one of MandrakeSoft's FTP server mirrors:
