COMMAND
xtel
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
xtel 3.2.1 (maybe prior)
PROBLEM
in Debian Security Advisory DSA-090-1 :
The xtel (a X emulator for minitel) package as distributed with Debian
GNU/Linux 2.2 has two possible symlink attacks:
* xteld creates a temporary file /tmp/.xtel- without checking
for symlinks.
* when printing a hardcope xtel would create a temporary file without
protecting itself against symlink attacks.
SOLUTION
Upgrade.
Last debian package is 3.2.1-4.potato.1
TUCoPS is optimized to look best in Firefox® on a widescreen monitor (1440x900 or better).
