Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53508
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 679-1 (toolchain-source)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to toolchain-source
announced via advisory DSA 679-1.

Sean Finney discovered several insecure temporary file uses in
toolchain-source, the GNU binutils and GCC source code and scripts.
These bugs can lead a local attacker with minimal knowledge to trick
the admin into overwriting arbitrary files via a symlink attack. The
problems exist inside the Debian-specific tpkg-* scripts.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.0.4-1woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.4-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your toolchain-source package.
