Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory

Problem Description:

A vulnerability exists in znew, a script included with gzip,
that would create temporary files without taking precautions to
avoid a symlink attack. Patches have been applied to make use of
mktemp to generate unique filenames, and properly make use of
noclobber in the script. Likewise, a fix for gzexe which had been
applied previously was incomplete. It has been fixed to make full
use of mktemp everywhere a temporary file is created.

The znew problem was initially reported by Michal Zalewski and
was again reported more recently to Debian by Paul Szabo.
