Package        : lm-sensors
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file
Problem-Scope  : local
Debian-specific: No
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-2672 

Javier Fern?ndez-Sanguino Pe?a discovered that a script included in
lm-sensors, used to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors, creates a temporary
file with a predictable filename, leaving it vulnerable for a symlink
attack.

Note that this is the same set of security fixes put into stable in
DSA-814-1.

For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in version
1:2.9.1-6etch1

For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version
1:2.9.1-7

This upgrade is recommended if you use lm-sensors.

The Debian testing security team does not track security issues for the
stable (sarge) and oldstable (woody) distributions. If stable is vulnerable,
the Debian security team will make an announcement once a fix is ready.
