Hi, the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was published for audacity some time ago. CVE-2007-6061[0]: | Audacity 1.3.2 creates a temporary directory with a predictable name | without checking for previous existence of that directory, which | allows local users to cause a denial of service (recording deadlock) | by creating the directory before Audacity is run. NOTE: this issue | can be leveraged to delete arbitrary files or directories via a | symlink attack. Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable. It does not warrant a DSA. However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[1]. Please contact the release time for this. This is an automatically generated mail, in case you are already working on an upgrade this is of course pointless.
