    Package        : noweb
    Vulnerability  : insecure temporary files
    Problem-Type   : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0381
    
    Jakob Lell discovered a bug in the 'noroff' script included in noweb
    whereby a temporary file was created insecurely.  During a review,
    several other instances of this problem were found and fixed.  Any of
    these bugs could be exploited by a local user to overwrite arbitrary
    files owned by the user invoking the script.
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.9a-7.3.
    
    For old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.9a-5.1.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
    
    We recommend that you update your noweb package.
    
    Upgrade Instructions
