Title: Mandriva perl-MDK-Common Unspecified Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Mandriva perl-MDK-Common is prone to an unspecified privilege-escalation vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently validate user-supplied input. Specifically, this issue occurs because Mandriva tools write special characters to configuration files.
Few technical details are available; we will update this BID as more information emerges.
