Package: mozilla-venkman
Version: 0.9.87.2-1
Severity: critical
Tags: security
Justification: root security hole


Hi,

mozilla-venkman.preinst contains:

        #! /bin/sh

        find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 > /tmp/findddddddddddd

Just do an "ln -s /etc/shadow /bin/findddddddddddd" as any user before
installing the package, and watch the fireworks.

Btw. why the heck does the preinst script need to dump the contents of
the root directory to a file that is never used?
