Package : htmlheadline
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-1181
Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña has discovered multiple insecure uses
of temporary files that could lead to overwriting arbitrary files via
a symlink attack.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 21.8-3.
The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain this package.
We recommend that you upgrade your htmlheadline package.
