Well, this may be changed in newer versions of the library, or you could go into the code yourself and change it. Personally I don't like going into other people's code, but if you really want to fix this, then the best of luck to you :) Theres not much other answer that I can provide other than this, sorry. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Buliwyf McGraw Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 10:30 PM To: Michael Tang Helmeste Cc: security@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: Unsafe Message > If its not in your code, its most likely in one of the libraries that it > uses. Thanks for your answer. I was reading the man of the functions: tmpnam() tempnam, tmpfile, tmpnam - temporary file routines mkstemp() make temporary file name (unique) But i am not sure about how improvement the libraries... i mean, there is a patch or something for this specific error???
