Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.8.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
In the stickynotes_save() function in stickynotes/stickynotes.c, the
xmlSaveFormatFile function is called without checking its return value.
As detailed in http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#xmlSaveFormatFile,
this function returns -1 if writing the file was unsuccessful. It
should write the new file out to a temporary file alongside the existing
one, and if and only if this was successful, rename() it to the actual
name. Otherwise if the writing fails, the notes file can be truncated and
the old copy of the notes are lost as well as the changes being written.
I've just lost my todo list sticky note...
Regards,
Rob
