Package : migrationtools
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-0512
Debian Bug : 338920

Jason Hoover discovered that migrationtools, a collection of scripts
to migrate user data to LDAP creates several temporary files insecurely,
which might lead to denial of service through a symlink attack.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 46-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 46-2.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your migrationtools package.
