Hi,

        This upload fixes a grave security bug (symlink attack in /tmp),
 and has no other code change.

dist (1:3.5-17-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * If a script uses a temp file which is created in /tmp, then an
    attacker can create symlink with the same name in this directory in
    order to destroy or rewrite some system or user files.  Symlink attack
    may also lead not only to the data desctruction but to denial of
    service as well. Creating files with rand or pid to randomize the file
    names is not adequate to protect the system. We now use File::Temp to
    safely create the temporary files as needed. This closes a grave bug.
    There are no code changes in this version, apart from the bug fix.
                                                        Closes: #496412
  * Updated the Standards version. (No changes)
