Detail
| Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that a script in tuxpaint, a paint program for young children, creates a temporary file in an insecure fashion. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain tuxpaint packages. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.14-2sarge0. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.15b-1. We recommend that you upgrade your tuxpaint package. |

| 22453 | Tux Paint tuxpaint-import.sh Symlink Arbitrary File Overwrite Tux Paint contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local user to overwrite or create arbitrary files on the system. The issue is due to the tuxpaint-import.sh script creating temporary files insecurely. It is possible for a user to use a symlink style attack to manipulate arbitrary files, resulting in a loss of integrity. |
