Package name: ispell
Date: 2001-06-20
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:058
Affected versions: 8.0 i586 , 7.2 i586 , 7.1 i586 , CS1.0 i586

Problem description

The ispell program uses mktemp() to open temporary files. This makes it vulnerable to symlink attacks. The program now has a patch from OpenBSD applied that uses mkstemp() instead, and switches gets() to fgets() for dealing with user input.
