>Description:
The isearch package (textproc/isearch) uses the tempnam() function in
three different places to choose the name of a temporary file it
writes later on into a publicly-writable area (/tmp). Needless to say,
this is insecure.
>How-To-Repeat:
Observe the linker warnings, search the source.
>Fix:
Update to at least isearch-1.47.01nb1, or take the relevant portions
of these patches:
patches/patch-doctype_anzmeta.cxx
patches/patch-doctype_fgdc.cxx
patches/patch-src_marc.cxx
