find /tmp security hole - are you secure?



Hello,

Following a discussion on the debian-devel mailing list, I got the
following URL about a security hole which sounds to be present in
every RedHat distribution as of today.  A very detailed explenation
and fix suggestions are also available.  Debian seems to have disabled
clearing of /tmp altogether until a proper fix is employed.
