Summary:

DSA-460-1 sysstat

Version:

$Revision: 1.4 $

Cve_id:

CVE-2004-0108

Bugtraq_id:

9844

Xrefs:

DSA:460

Description:

Alan Cox discovered that the isag utility (which graphically displays
data collected by the sysstat tools), creates a temporary file without
taking proper precautions. This vulnerability could allow a local
attacker to overwrite files with the privileges of the user invoking
isag.
For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 5.0.1-1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you update your sysstat package.
