+<dt>Vulnerability:</dt>
+<dd>symlink attack</dd>
+<dt>Problem-Scope:</dt>

+<br><dt>More information:</dt>
+<dd>Ulf Harnhammar notices that that trackballs follows symlinks when
running as <br>
+gid games. It writes to files such as $HOME/.trackballs/[USERNAME].gmr
and <br>
+$HOME/.trackballs/settings without checking if they are symlinks
somewhere <br>
+else. This can be abused for overwriting or creating files wherever the
games <br>
+group is allowed to do so. <br>
+</dd>
+<br><dt>For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in
version 1.1.1-0.0etch1</dt>
+<dt>For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version
1.1.1-1</dt>
+<br><dt>This upgrade is recommended if you use
trackballs.<dt>
+<br><dt>If you have the secure testing lines in your sources.list,
you can update by running this command as root:</dt>
+
+<dd>apt-get update && apt-get upgrade</dd>
+<br>
+
