Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-661-2)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'f2c' package(s) announced via the DSA-661-2 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'f2c' package(s) announced via the DSA-661-2 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Dan McMahill noticed that our advisory DSA 661-1 did not correct the multiple insecure files problem, hence, this update. For completeness below is the original advisory text: Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that f2c and fc, which are both part of the f2c package, a fortran 77 to C/C++ translator, open temporary files insecurely and are hence vulnerable to a symlink attack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities: CAN-2005-0017 Multiple insecure temporary files in the f2c translator. CAN-2005-0018 Two insecure temporary files in the f2 shell script. For the stable distribution (woody) and all others including testing this problem has been fixed in version 20010821-3.2. We recommend that you upgrade your f2c package. Affected Software/OS: 'f2c' package(s) on Debian 3.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
