tag_insight = "Javier FernΓ‘ndez-Sanguino PeΓ±a 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:
CVE-2005-0017
Multiple insecure temporary files in the f2c translator.
CVE-2005-0018
Two insecure temporary files in the f2 shell script.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 20010821-3.1
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your f2c package.";
