Fedora 9 Update: xastir-1.9.2-9.fc9

September 10, 2008

Multiple insecure temporary file usage flaws were identified in the get-maptools.sh and get_shapelib.sh scripts shipped in xastir packages

Summary

Xastir is a graphical application that interfaces HAM radio

and internet access to realtime mapping software.

Install XASTIR if you are interested in APRS(tm) and HAM radio

software.

Multiple insecure temporary file usage flaws were identified in the get-maptools.sh and get_shapelib.sh scripts shipped in xastir packages. As those

scripts are not needed with Fedora-distributed xastir packages (they automate

installation of libraries used by xastir, which are provided in the Fedora

archive in the pre-packaged RPM format), they were removed.
