======================================================
Candidate: CAN-2005-3111
URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-3111
Reference: DEBIAN:DSA-827

The handler code for backupninja 0.8 and earlier creates temporary
files with predictable filenames, which allows local users to modify
arbitrary files.
