System: FreeBSD kai.velvet.net 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Fri Feb 9 02:28:32 GMT 2001 root@xev.velvet.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386


>Description:

  Gnat uses mktemp to generate temporary files instead of mkstemp, leading to a race 
  condition in generated programs that use temporary files 

  See http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/255734

>How-To-Repeat:

	$ echo "Procedure Foo is begin null; end Foo;" > foo.adb
	$ /usr/local/bin/gnatmake foo.adb
	adagcc -c foo.adb
	gnatbind -x foo.ali
	gnatlink foo.ali
	/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.5/2.8.1/adalib//libgnat.so: warning: tmpnam() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
 	/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.5/2.8.1/adalib//libgnat.so: warning: mktemp() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp()
 
>Fix:

  Apply the patch at http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/files/fw/gnat-3.14p-mkstemp.diff in
