Description Kurt Seifried 2012-12-06 21:01:50 UTC 
In gofer 0.67 and earlier the /var/lib/gofer/journal/watchdog is world writable. 
This directory is used to hold watchdog objects which are used to track 
asynchronous messages by serial number. If journal entries are improperly removed 
a denial of service condition can occur. This has been modified in version 0.68.
