metrics, a tools for software metrics.  Two scripts in this package,
halstead and gather_stats, open temporary files without taking
appropriate security precautions.  halstead is installed as a user
program, while gather_stats is only used in an auxiliary script
included in the source code.  These vulnerabilities could allow a
local attacker to overwrite files owned by the user running the
scripts, including root.

The stable distribution (woody) is not affected since it doesn't
contain a metrics package anymore.

For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.0-1.1.
