    Package        : eldav
    Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file
    Problem-Type   : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0438
    
    eldav, a WebDAV client for Emacs, creates temporary files without
    taking appropriate security precautions.  This vulnerability could be
    exploited by a local user to create or overwrite files with the
    privileges of the user running emacs and eldav.
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.0.20020411-1woody1.
    
    The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain an eldav
    package.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.7.2-1.
    
    We recommend that you update your eldav package.
