- Date Reported:

- Security database references:
- In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 463907.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2008-0665, CVE-2008-0666. - More information:
-
Frank Lichtenheld and Nico Golde discovered that WML, an off-line HTML generation toolkit, creates insecure temporary files in the eperl and ipp backends and in the wmg.cgi script, which could lead to a local denial of service by overwriting files.
The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.11-1etch1.
We recommend that you upgrade your wml packages.
- Fixed in:
-
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (stable)
