Synopsis:	Moderate: rpm security update
Issue date:	2010-09-07
CVE Names:	CVE-2005-4889 CVE-2010-2059

It was discovered that RPM did not remove setuid and setgid bits set on
binaries when upgrading or removing packages. A local attacker able to
create hard links to binaries could use this flaw to keep those binaries 
on the system, at a specific version level and with the setuid or setgid 
bit set, even if the package providing them was upgraded or removed by a 
system administrator. This could have security implications if a package 
was upgraded or removed because of a security flaw in a setuid or setgid
program. (CVE-2005-4889, CVE-2010-2059)
