VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/22712/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1
http://secunia.com/product/5307/
Debian GNU/Linux unstable alias sid
http://secunia.com/product/530/

DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for thttpd. This fixes a vulnerability,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain
actions with escalated privileges.

The /etc/logrotate.d/thttpd script creates temporary files
insecurely. This can be exploited to create or overwrite arbitrary
files via symlink attacks with the privileges of the user running
thttpd.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages.
