Debian Security Advisory DSA-1657-1 securitydebian.org

Package : qemu
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-4553
Debian Bug : 496394

Dmitry E. Oboukhov discovered that the qemu-make-debian-root script in qemu,
fast processor emulator, creates temporary files insecurely, which may lead
to a local denial of service through symlink attacks.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.8.2-4etch2.

For the testing (lenny) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has
been fixed in version 0.9.1-6.

We recommend that you upgrade your qemu package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

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

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch
