Description:   Opened: 2007-10-28 16:20 0000 
<app-emacs/lookup-1.4.1 suffer from insecure creation of temporary files:

"Tatsuya Kinoshita discovered that Lookup, a search interface to electronic
dictionaries on emacsen, creates a temporary file in an insecure fashion when
the ndeb-binary feature is used, which allows a local attacker to craft a
symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary files."
