Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that f2c and fc, which are both part of the f2c package, a fortran 77 to C/C++ translator, open temporary files insecurely and are hence vulnerable to a symlink attack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2005-0017

Multiple insecure temporary files in the f2c translator.

CAN-2005-0018

Two insecure temporary files in the f2 shell script.

For the stable distribution (woody) and all others including testing this problem has been fixed in version 20010821-3.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your f2c package.");
