announced via advisory DSA 843-1.

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the ARC archive program
under Unix.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:

CVE-2005-2945
Eric Romang discovered that the ARC archive program under Unix
creates a temporary file with insecure permissions which may lead
to an attacker stealing sensitive information.

CVE-2005-2992
Joey Schulze discovered that the temporary file was created in an
insecure fashion as well, leaving it open to a classic symlink
attack.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain arc packages.";
