[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#508597: gpsdrive: allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack

[Hamish]

[1,2]
> scripts/gpssmswatch and src/splash.c

rewritten upstream not to use /tmp/gpsdrivepos anymore (now directly polls
position from gpsd), and /tmp/.smswatch is now created with `tempfile`, in
a secure way.
-done-

> src/unit_test.c  +  /tmp/gpsdrive-unit-test

still needs work.
-open-
