- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : lm-sensors
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-2672]
Debian Bug     : 324193

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña discovered that a script of lm-sensors,
utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors, creates a temporary
file with a predictable filename, leaving it vulnerable for a symlink
attack.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.9.1-1sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.9.1-7.

We recommend that you upgrade your lm-sensors package.
