Description Mark J. Cox 2006-02-21 17:04:40 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #182286 +++

Stan Bubrouski contacted jwz the maintainer of xscreensaver
        and cc'd Red Hat security folks on 20031031 to report an
        insecure temporary file flaw introduced in xscreensaver
        version 4.14.  This was due to a bit of debugging code that
        got left in by mistake, it was removed in 4.15, and therefore
        didn't affect any RHEL releases.  This was CVE-2003-0885.

However SUSE then found some other suspect temporary file issues which also got
silently fixed in 4.15 release.  I've applied for a CVE name for these.
