Description Josh Bressers 2005-01-10 19:10:15 UTC

Two insecure temporary file vulns have been reported to the debian BTS.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=289560

The issues refer to the usage of temporary files using the process PID as the
"randomness".  I would not be surprised if this isn't the only scripts in vim
that do this.

This issue should also affect RHEL2.1

Comment 4 Karsten Hopp 2005-01-11 13:23:42 UTC

vim-6.3.046-0.30E.2 is the fixed version for RHEL-3
vim-6.3.046-0.40E.2       "  "               RHEL-4
vim-6.0-7.20              "  "               AS-2.1
