Dmitry E. Oboukhov discovered that the test.alert script used in one of the
alert functions in mon, a system to monitor hosts or services and alert
about problems, creates temporary files insecurely, which may lead to a local
denial of service through symlink attacks.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.99.2-9+etch2.

For the testing (lenny) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has
been fixed in version 0.99.2-13.

We recommend that you upgrade your mon package.
