4.3.2002: Security Fixes xsane 0.50
The former version opened temporary files in /tmp without certain precaution and guessable filenames. This could be exploited by malicious users to fors the user to overwrite important files of his (or of root, if xsane was running as root).

This has been fixed byintroducing /tmp/xsane-${LOGNAME:-$UID} as location for all temporary files, created securely upon startup.
