Vulnerability Assessment Details

[DSA733] DSA-733-1 crip

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-733-1 crip

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Justin Rye discovered that crip, a terminal-based ripper, encoder and
tagger tool, utilises temporary files in an insecure fashion in its
helper scripts.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not provide the crip package.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.5-1sarge2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.5-1sarge2.
We recommend that you upgrade your crip package.
