Package        : tkdiff
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2005-3343

The last update of tkdiff contained a programming error which is fixed
by this version.  For completeness we're adding the original advisory
text:

    Javier Fern?ndez-Sanguino Pe?a from the Debian Security Audit
    project discovered that tkdiff, a graphical side by side "diff"
    utility, creates temporary files in an insecure fashion.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.08-3woody1.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 4.0.2-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 4.0.2-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your tkdiff package.
