------- Comment #1 From Carsten Lohrke 2006-02-13 09:58:41 0000 ------- 
from DSA 968-1:

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit project
discovered that a script in noweb, a web like literate-programming
tool, creates a temporary file in an insecure fashion.


Interesting to not is that there was a similar issue years ago ( bug 22972 ).
The DSA is too unspecific to say if the same problem reappeard.

sci-mathematics/axiom might be affected by this as it includes its own noweb...

Created an attachment (id=80004) [details]
noweb-2.9-insecure-tmp-file.patch

I have fixed it in CVS for noweb.
The problem was much the same as the old bug, just in some new files.
I took the debian patch and extracted the difference (see the attachment) and
added it to the old noweb-2.9-security.patch and bumped both the unstable and
stable revision.

@plasmaroo: The attachment is for your sake, if it applies to axiom as well.

Btw. this is my first response to a security bug, so please tell me if I did
anything wrong :)

------- Comment #7 From Stefan Cornelius (RETIRED) 2006-02-23 12:09:15 0000 -------
