[USN-100-1] cdrecord vulnerability

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-100-1             March 24, 2005
cdrtools vulnerability
http://bugs.debian.org/291376
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

cdrecord

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 4:2.0+a30.pre1-1ubuntu2.2.  In general, a standard system
upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña noticed that cdrecord created temporary
files in an insecure manner if DEBUG was enabled in
/etc/cdrecord/rscsi. If the default value was used (which stored the
debug output file in /tmp), this could allow a symbolic link attack to
create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user
invoking cdrecord.

Please note that DEBUG is not enabled by default in Ubuntu, so if you
did not explicitly enable it, this does not affect you.
