DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in libsdp, which can be exploited
by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with escalated
privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the application creating
temporary log files in an insecure manner when running as non-root
user. This can be exploited to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files via
hardlink and symlink attacks.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.1.105-0.4.
