gdrae is indeed vulnerable to temp file attacks through /tmp/gdrae/palabra

However, I have some doubts whether this should be fixed or gdrae
rather be removed altogether: It consists of a very small shell script
(43 lines), which only runs a lynx dump on 
http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual?LEMA=$palabra";

This will break whenever they update their site scheme and there're much
more useful approachs in search engine frontends, e.g. the surfraw package
or Iceweasel website search scripts.

The package is also unmaintained beyond the initial upload.

Cheers,
        Moritz
