a few days ago a /tmp race condition bug in the makewhatis program was posted on bugtraq. We are NOT vulnerable by this bug, because we use different code, which doesn't touch /tmp in a unsecure way.

Hi,
a few days ago a /tmp race condition bug in the makewhatis program was
posted on bugtraq.
We are NOT vulnerable by this bug, because we use different code, which
doesn't touch /tmp in a unsecure way.

Bye,
     Thomas
