--------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : htmlheadline
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-1181

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña has discovered multiple insecure uses
of temporary files that could lead to overwriting arbitrary files via
a symlink attack.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 21.8-3.

The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain this package.

We recommend that you upgrade your htmlheadline package.
