Comment 1 for bug 530778

This bug was fixed in the package paxtest - 1:0.9.9-1

---------------
paxtest (1:0.9.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release, uploaded to Debian. (LP: #530778) (Closes: #570990)
   * genpaxtest: Modify so that the 'paxtest' script generated uses
        either a user-provided logfile as argument or the $HOME/paxtest.log
        instead of paxtest.log for its results in order to prevent it from
        writing in the users' CWD and avoid symlink tricks if the user is
        executing this in a shared (i.e. writable by others) directory such as
        /tmp. Fixes CVE-2010-3373 (Closes: #598413)
   * Updated results in the results/ directory for a stock Debian kernel
     (i.e. no overflow protection)
   * Use debhelper compatibility version 5
   * debian/rules: Use conditions to build using 'linux32', 'linux64' or
     just 'linux'
   * Document the new Homepage in debian/control, also list both the new
     and the old one in debian/copyright
   * Updated debian/paxtest.sgml to properly reflect the arguments used in the
     paxtest script and the new behaviour wrt log files.
   * Fix upstream's debian/changelog to have proper maintainer lines. Use the
     date information of the files as a basis.
   * Updated the content under results/ for a stock Debian kernel (2.6.32)
     and rename the older result files for Debian kernel 2.4.25
