    Initial Package Version: 4.8
    Origin: http://gentoo.kems.net/gentoo-portage/sys-apps/texinfo/files/texinfo-4.8-tempfile.patch
    Upstream Status: A few patches are floating around in Debian BZ #328365 of which
                     upstream hasn't made a full commitment on yet.
    Description: (CAN-2005-3011) texindex in texinfo 4.8 and earlier allows local
                 users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on
                 temporary files.
    Update: Changed to not pass a constant string to mktemp().
