Debian Security Advisory DSA 622-1 securitydebian.org

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : htmlheadline
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-1181

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña has discovered multiple insecure uses
of temporary files that could lead to overwriting arbitrary files via
a symlink attack.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 21.8-3.

The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain this package.

We recommend that you upgrade your htmlheadline package.

Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
