Debian Security Advisory DSA 615-1 security@debian.org

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : debmake
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: yes
CVE ID : CAN-2004-1179
Debian Bug : 286382
Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña noticed that the debstd script from debmake, a deprecated helper package for Debian packaging, created temporary directories in an insecure manner. This can be exploited by a malicious user to overwrite arbitrary files owned by the victim.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.10.woody.1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 3.7.7.
We recommend that you upgrade your debmake package.
