--- Begin Message ---Package: xbindkeys-config Version: 0.1.3-2 Severity: important Tags: security If you use this program and "view generated file" the current output will be saved to the file /tmp/xbindkeysrc-tmp. This allows the corruption of any file the user has permission to write to. Later this predictable file is used to execute commands: /*****************************************************************************/ void middle_apply_action(GtkWidget *parent, void *data) { unlink(TEMP_FILE); save_file(TEMP_FILE); system("killall -9 xbindkeys"); usleep(500); /* printf("****\n\noutput = %d\n\n****",system("xbindkeys -f " TEMP_FILE )); */ system("xbindkeys -f " TEMP_FILE ); } Really most of this complexity could go away if we just assumed the editor would write to a file the user specified, or ~/.xbindkeysrc. Given the number of bugs that have been untouched for a long time this package should probably not go into the Jessie release without a good update. Regardless this is a classic case of insecure-temporary files and should almost certainly have a CVE ID allocated.
