Package: make
Vulnerability type: symlink attack
Debian-specific: no
The make package as shipped in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 is
vulnerable to a race condition that can be exploited with a symlink
attack. make used mktemp while creating temporary files in /tmp.
and that is a known potential security hole, as documented in the
man page of mktemp.
This has been fixed in version 3.77-5slink. We recommend you
upgrade your make package immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink
This version of Debian was released only for Intel ia32, the
Motorola 680×0, the alpha and the Sun sparc architecture.
