COMMAND

    magicfilter

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    Systems running magicfilter 1.2

PROBLEM

    Thomas Roessler posted following.  On a related topic of 'lynx #2'
    in  mUNIXes  section,  H.  P.  Anvin's  magicfilter  1.2   package
    contains yet  another /tmp  race.   Please note  that this problem
    is especially dangerous, since magicfilter  will run as root on  a
    typical installation.

SOLUTION

    The fix  is trivial  by replacing  tmpnam &&  fopen by  mkstemp &&
    fdopen.
