Package : wml
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-0665 CVE-2008-0666
Debian Bug : 463907

Frank Lichtenheld and Nico Golde discovered that WML, an off-line HTML
generation toolkit, creates insecure temporary files in the eperl and
ipp backends and in the wmg.cgi script, which could lead to local denial
of service by overwriting files.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.11-1etch1.

The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected.

We recommend that you upgrade your wml packages.

Upgrade instructions
