Debian Security Advisory DSA 325-1 [email protected]http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman
June 19th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : eldav
Vulnerability : insecure temporary file
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0438
eldav, a WebDAV client for Emacs, creates temporary files without
taking appropriate security precautions. This vulnerability could be
exploited by a local user to create or overwrite files with the
privileges of the user running emacs and eldav.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.20020411-1woody1.
The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain an eldav
package.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.7.2-1.
We recommend that you update your eldav package.
