- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : jailer
Vulnerability  : insecure temp file generation
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-5139
Debian Bug     : 410548

Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that updatejail, a component
of the chroot maintenance tool Jailer, creates a predictable temporary
file name, which may lead to local denial of service through a symlink
attack.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.4-9+etch1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny) and the unstable
distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.4-10.

We recommend that you upgrade your jailer package.
