Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit project
discovered that f2c and fc, which are both part of the f2c package, a
fortran 77 to C/C++ translator, open temporary files insecurely and
are hence vulnerable to a symlink attack. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project identifies the following
vulnerabilities:
CAN-2005-0017
Multiple insecure temporary files in the f2c translator.
CAN-2005-0018
Two insecure temporary files in the f2 shell script.
