This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot your Red Hat system, change runlevels, and shut the system down cleanly. Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and deactivate most network interfaces. A bug was found in the way initscripts handled various environment variables when the /sbin/service command is run. It is possible for a local user with permissions to execute /sbin/service via sudo to execute arbitrary commands as the root user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-3629 to this issue. Description truncated, please see reference URL below for more information. Reference: http://rhn.redhat.com//errata/RHSA-2006-0015.html Packages affected: Refer to vendor website for up to date details on packages affected.
