Debian 4.0/4.1: DSA 928-3 Major: Tkdiff Security Risk Exposed

Updated package.. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 927-2 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze December 29th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : tkdiff Vulnerability : insecure temporary file Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2005-3343 The last update of tkdiff contained a programming error which is fixed by this version. For completeness we're adding the original advisory text: Javier Fern�ndez-Sanguino Pe�a from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that tkdiff, a graphical side by side "diff" utility, creates temporary files in an insecure fashion. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.08-3woody1. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.2-1sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.2-4. We recommend that you upgrade your tkdiff 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.
