Name        : tripwire
Version 7.3 : 2.3.1-10.1.legacy.7x
Version 9   : 2.3.1-17.2.legacy.9
Summary     : A system integrity assessment tool.
Description :
Tripwire is a very valuable security tool for Linux systems, if it is
installed to a clean system. Tripwire should be installed right after
the OS installation, and before you have connected your system to a
network (i.e., before any possibility exists that someone could alter
files on your system).
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
 
Updated Tripwire packages that fix a format string security
vulnerability are now available.

Tripwire is a system integrity assessment tool.

Paul Herman discovered a format string vulnerability in Tripwire
version 2.3.1 and earlier. If Tripwire is configured to send reports
via email, a local user could gain privileges by creating a carefully
crafted file. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0536 to this issue.

Users of Tripwire are advised to upgrade to this erratum package which
contains a backported security patch to correct this issue.
