Ubuntu: DSA 889-1 High: File Manager Security Flaw Patch

Jeroen Vermeulen discovered that backup files are created with
default permissions making them world readable, even though they
may contain sensitive information.

CAN-2005-1856

Sven Joachim discovered that the optional CD-burning feature of
backup-manager uses a hardcoded filename in a world-writable
directory for logging. This can be subject to a symlink attack.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not provide the
backup-manager package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.5.7-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.5.8-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your backup-manager package.
