Debian: DSA-4365-1: tmpreaper security update
Summary
Stephen Roettger discovered a race condition in tmpreaper, a program that
cleans up files in directories based on their age, which could result in
local privilege escalation.
For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.13+nmu1+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your tmpreaper packages.
For the detailed security status of tmpreaper please refer to
