Description Mark J. Cox 2004-01-19 13:44:00 UTC

A number of temporary file bugs have been found in versions of NetPBM
shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 and 3.  These could allow a
local attacker the ability to overwrite or create files as a user
running the netpbm utilities.

Low risk as few programs use the netpbm utilities for image conversion.
