[tryton-debian] Bug#749073: python-suds: does not delete directories in /tmp, causing DoS

Package: python-suds
Version: 0.3.9-1+deb6u1
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks unrelated software


The deb6u1 update to python-suds fixed insecure temporary directory
creation (/tmp/suds) by creating directories with random names in /tmp.

However, these directories are never deleted, causing /tmp to reach
subdirectory limit (~32000 on ext3), breaking various other programs that want
to create a temporary directory in /tmp (they get "Too many links" error).
