Debian DSA-366-1 : eroaster - insecure temporary file

low Nessus Plugin ID 15203

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

eroaster, a frontend for burning CD-R media using cdrecord, does not take appropriate security precautions when creating a temporary file for use as a lockfile. This bug could potentially be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running eroaster.

Solution

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.0.0.3-2woody1.

We recommend that you update your eroaster package.
