    Debian Security Advisory DSA 325-1 security@debian.org

    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.

    Upgrade Instructions
    - --------------------

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

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
            will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
            will install corrected packages

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