Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pmount' package(s) announced via the DSA-2063-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Dan Rosenberg discovered that pmount, a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry, creates files in /var/lock insecurely. A local attacker could overwrite arbitrary files utilising a symlink attack.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.23-1, and will migrate to the testing distribution (squeeze) shortly.

We recommend that you upgrade your pmount package.

Affected Software/OS:
'pmount' package(s) on Debian 5.
