More information:

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña discovered insecure temporary file creation in graphviz, a rich set of graph drawing tools, that can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files by a local attacker.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem probably persists but the package is non-free.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.1-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.1-1sarge1.

We recommend that you upgrade your graphviz package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
