Detail
| Vincent Bernat discovered that pimd, a multicast routing daemon, creates files with predictable names upon the receipt of particular signals. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.0-alpha29.17-8.1lenny1. The testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid) will receive updates shortly. We recommend that you upgrade your pimd packages. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 70305 | pimd Multiple Temporary File Symlink Arbitrary File Overwrite pimd contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local user to overwrite arbitrary files on the system. The issue is due to the '/var/tmp/pimd.dump' and '/var/tmp/pimd.cache' files creating temporary files insecurely. It is possible for a local attacker to use a symlink attack to cause the program to unexpectedly write to, or overwrite an attacker specified file. |
