replacement libraries available


Debian Security Advisory DSA-037-1                                      security@debian.org

Package        : nextaw, xaw3d, xaw95
Vulnerability  : insecure tempfile handling
Type           : local insecure tempfile bug
Debian-specific: no
Fixed version  : nextaw 0.5.1-34potato1
                 xaw3d 1.3-6.9potato1
                 xaw95 1.1-4.6potato1

It has been reported that the AsciiSrc and MultiSrc widget in the
Athena widget library handle temporary files insecurely. Joey Hess
has ported the bugfix from XFree86 to these Xaw replacements
libraries.

We recommend you upgrade your nextaw, xaw3d and xaw95
packages.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato


Potato was released for the alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
sparc architectures. This package, though, is only fixed for i386
and m68k. The version for sparc is still vulnerable and isn’t
maintained anymore.
