webmin - insecure temporary directory

Ludwig Nussel discovered a problem in webmin, a web-based
administration toolkit. A temporary directory was used but without
checking for the previous owner. This could allow an attacker to
create the directory and place dangerous symbolic links inside.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.94-7woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.160-1 of webmin and 1.090-1 of usermin.

We recommend that you upgrade your webmin packages.
