- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : thttpd
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2005-3124

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit team
discovered that the syslogtocern script from thttpd, a tiny webserver,
uses a temporary file insecurely, allowing a local attacker to craft a
symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary files.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.21b-11.3.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.23beta1-3sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.23beta1-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your thttpd package.
