Package: atop Version: 1.23-1 Severity: grave Tags: security Justification: user security hole
Hi, I've just noticed that atop keeps the runtime data in /tmp/atop* directories or files (mentioned on man page too). I think it was established from a discussion on debian-devel@l.d.o that this is potentially a security vulnerability. Probably it should keep its temporary runtime data in its own directory under /var/run (or /run for next release). Please consider to backport the fix for 'stable' too.
