[Backports-security-announce] Security Update for devscripts



Adam D. Barratt uploaded new packages for devscripts which fixed the
following security problems:

Debian BTS #507482

  When copying files from a remote host for signing, the temporary
  directory created was named based on the process ID rather than
  using mktemp.

Debian BTS #508111

  A call to mktemp used an incorrect format string which led to the
  same filename always being generated when attempting to sign a
  particular file. This could lead to being unable to sign the
  file as the mktemp call would never return.

  [Does not affect the stable distribution]

For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 2.10.35lenny2~bpo40+1.

For the stable distribution the problems have been fixed in version
2.9.26etch2.

For the testing distribution the problems have been fixed in versions
2.10.35lenny1 and 2.10.35lenny2.

For the unstable distribution the problems have been fixed in versions
2.10.42 and 2.10.43.

Upgrade instructions
--------------------

If you don't use pinning
(http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions) you have to
update the package manually via apt-get -t etch-backports install
devscripts.

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions
of installed backports will be installed automatically. 

  Package: *
  Pin: release a=etch-backports
  Pin-Priority: 200
