Synopsis:	Moderate: logrotate security update
Issue date:	2011-03-31
CVE Names:	CVE-2011-1098 CVE-2011-1154 CVE-2011-1155

A shell command injection flaw was found in the way logrotate handled 
the shred directive. A specially-crafted log file could cause logrotate 
to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running
logrotate (root, by default). Note: The shred directive is not enabled 
by default. (CVE-2011-1154)

A race condition flaw was found in the way logrotate applied permissions
when creating new log files. In some specific configurations, a local
attacker could use this flaw to open new log files before logrotate 
applies the final permissions, possibly leading to the disclosure of 
sensitive information. (CVE-2011-1098)

An input sanitization flaw was found in logrotate. A log file with a
specially-crafted file name could cause logrotate to abort when 
attempting to process that file a subsequent time. (CVE-2011-1155)
