Synopsis

Vobcopy is a tool for decrypting and copying DVD .vob files to a hard
disk.

Affected packages

Description
==========
Joey Hess reported that vobcopy appends data to the file
"/tmp/vobcopy.bla" in an insecure manner.

Impact

A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct symlink
attacks and append data to arbitrary files with the privileges of the
user running Vobcopy.

Workaround
