Package : freenet6
Vulnerability : wrong file permissions
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: yes
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0563
Debian Bug : 254709

Simon Josefsson noticed that the tspc.conf configuration file in
freenet6, a client to configure an IPv6 tunnel to freenet6.net, is
set world readable. This file can contain the username and the
password used to contact the IPv6 tunnelbroker freenet6.net.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed
in version 0.9.6-1woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.0-2.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your freenet6 package.
