Package : eldav
Vulnerability : insecure temporary file
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0438

eldav, a WebDAV client for Emacs, creates temporary files without
taking appropriate security precautions. This vulnerability could be
exploited by a local user to create or overwrite files with the
privileges of the user running emacs and eldav.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.20020411-1woody1.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain an eldav
package.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.7.2-1.

We recommend that you update your eldav package.
