Package : gsambad
Vulnerability : insecurity temporary files
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-2838


Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that gsambad,
a GTK+ configuration tool for samba, uses temporary files in an unsafe
manner which may be exploited to truncate arbitary files from the local
system.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.1.4-2etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed shortly.

We recommend that you upgrade your gsambad package.
