Package : ipmenu
Vulnerability : insecure temporary file
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2004-2569
BugTraq ID : 10269
Debian Bug : 244709

Akira Yoshiyama noticed that ipmenu, an cursel iptables/iproute2 GUI,
creates a temporary file in an insecure fashion allowing a local
attacker to overwrite arbitrary files utilising a symlink attack.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.3-4woody1

The stable distribution (sarge) does not contain the ipmenu package.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.3-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your ipmenu package.

Upgrade Instructions

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

apt-get update
