Debian: 'eldav' temp file vulnerabilities
Summary
eldav, a WebDAV client for Emacs, creates temporary files without
taking appropriate security precautions. This vulnerability could be
exploited by a local user to create or overwrite files with the
privileges of the user running emacs and eldav.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.20020411-1woody1.
The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain an eldav
package.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.7.2-1.
We recommend that you update your eldav package.
