Debian Security Advisory DSA 661-2 security@xxxxxxxxxx
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze

Package : f2c
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0017
Dan McMahill noticed that our our advisory DSA 661-1 did not correct
the multiple insecure files problem, hence, this update. For
completeness below is the original advisory text:
Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit project
discovered that f2c and fc, which are both part of the f2c package, a
fortran 77 to C/C++ translator, open temporary files insecurely and
are hence vulnerable to a symlink attack. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
vulnerabilities:
CAN-2005-0017
Multiple insecure temporary files in the f2c translator.
For the stable distribution (woody) and all others including testing
this problem has been fixed in version 20010821-3.2.
We recommend that you upgrade your f2c package.
