/tmp symlink problems in man

[Pere Camps <pere@casal.upc.es>]

Hi!

	Is debian affected too? For the message it seems it is as slink
uses 2.3.10.

	Any confirmation would be appreciated.

Hi,

we confirmed the link vulnerablity in the man package.
The culprit is zsoelim which creates the file without looking left and
right. :-(

All linux distributions using man 2.3.10 should be affected.

A fixed package from us will be available soon.

Greets,
	Marc
