Package        : xen-utils
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary files
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-3919
Debian Bug     : 447795

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered that xen-utils, a collection of XEN administrative tools, used temporary files insecurely within the xenmon tool allowing local users to truncate arbitrary files.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 3.0.3-0-4.

For the old stable distribution (sarge) this package was not present.

We recommend that you upgrade your xen-3.0 (3.0.3-0-4) package.
