Package : gzip
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0970
BugTraq ID : 11288

Trustix developers discovered insecure temporary file creation in
supplemental scripts in the gzip package which may allow local users
to overwrite files via a symlink attack.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.2-3woody3.

The unstable distribution (sid) is not affected by these problems.

We recommend that you upgrade your gzip package.

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
