MDKSA-2001:058: ispell

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Check for the version of the ispell package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2001:058 (ispell). The ispell program uses mktemp() to open temporary files. This makes it vulnerable to symlink attacks. The program now has a patch from OpenBSD applied that uses mkstemp() instead, and switches gets() to fgets() for dealing with user input.
