Package : mhc
Vulnerability : insecure temporary file
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
It has been discovered that adb2mhc from the mhc-utils package. The
default temporary directory uses a predictable name. This adds a
vulnerability that allows a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary
files the users has write permissions for.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 0.25+20010625-7.1.
For the old stable distribution (potato) does not contain mhc
packages.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.25+20030224-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your mhc-utils packages.
