NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2004-344.NASL description Updated semi packages that fix vulnerabilities in flim temporary file handling are now available. The semi package includes a MIME library for GNU Emacs and XEmacs used by the wl mail package.

Temporary files were being created without taking adequate precautions, and therefore a local user could potentially overwrite files with the privileges of the user running emacs.
