Two bugs have been found in backup-manager, a command-line driven
backup utility.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:
    Jeroen Vermeulen discovered that backup files are created with
    default permissions making them world readable, even though they
    may contain sensitive information.
    Sven Joachim discovered that the optional CD-burning feature of
    backup-manager uses a hardcoded filename in a world-writable
    directory for logging.  This can be subject to a symlink attack.
The old stable distribution (woody) does not provide the
backup-manager package.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.5.7-1sarge1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.5.8-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your backup-manager package.
