Package: scheme48 Version: 1.8+dfsg-1 Severity: important Tags: security The function `scheme48-send-definition` in cmuscheme48.el blindly overwrites the file /tmp/s48lose.tmp prior to sending it to the inferior scheme process.
This action will blindly overwrite files the user has permission to modify, causing data-loss. The function should be modified to generate a secure and non-predictable filename, perhaps via `make-temp-file` or similar. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.12-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Steve -- http://steve.org.uk/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
