Tatsuya Kinoshita discovered that Lookup, a search interface to
electronic dictionaries on emacsen, creates a temporary file in an
insecure fashion when the ndeb-binary feature is used, which allows a
local attacker to craft a symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary files.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4-3sarge1.

For the testing distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4-5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your lookup-el package.
