Summary
The remote host is missing an update to lm-sensors announced via advisory DSA 814-1. Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that a script of lm-sensors, utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors, creates a temporary file with a predictable filename, leaving it vulnerable for a symlink attack. The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.
