Debian Security Advisory DSA 544-1 security@debian.org

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : webmin
Vulnerability : insecure temporary directory
Problem-Type : root
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0559

Ludwig Nussel discovered a problem in webmin, a web-based
administration toolkit. A temporary directory was used but without checking for the previous owner. This could allow an attacker to create the directory and place dangerous symbolic links inside.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.94-7woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.160-1 of webmin and 1.090-1 of usermin.

We recommend that you upgrade your webmin packages.
