Debian Security Advisory DSA 325-1 security@debian.org

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
