Package : xtel
Problem type : symlink attack
Debian-specific: no
The xtel (a X emulator for minitel) package as distributed with Debian
GNU/Linux 2.2 has two possible symlink attacks:
* xteld creates a temporary file /tmp/.xtel-<user> without checking
for symlinks.
* when printing a hardcope xtel would create a temporary file without
protecting itself against symlink attacks.
Both problems have been fixed in version 3.2.1-4.potato.1 .
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
- ---------------------------------
Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
