DSA-426-1 netpbm-free Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment netpbm is a graphics conversion toolkit made up of a large number of single-purpose programs. Many of these programs were found to create temporary files in an insecure manner, which could permit a local attacker to overwrite files with the rights of the user invoking a vulnerable netpbm tool. For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2:9.20-8.4. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2:9.25-9. We recommend that you update your netpbm-free package.
