- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : f2c
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-0017

Dan McMahill noticed that our our advisory DSA 661-1 did not correct
the multiple insecure files problem, hence, this update.  For
completeness below is the original advisory text:

  Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit project
  discovered that f2c and fc, which are both part of the f2c package, a
  fortran 77 to C/C++ translator, open temporary files insecurely and
  are hence vulnerable to a symlink attack.  The Common
  Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
  vulnerabilities:

  CAN-2005-0017

      Multiple insecure temporary files in the f2c translator.

For the stable distribution (woody) and all others including testing
this problem has been fixed in version 20010821-3.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your f2c package.
