This was fixed in Debian's 0.31-1

stable and oldstable are vulnerable.


The fix for this bug is quite simple:
replacing
        $pores->write("/tmp/gettextization.failed.po");
by
        $pores->write("gettextization.failed.po");



Security Team, shall I prepare packages with this fix and upload to
stable-security and oldstable-security?


Kind Regards,
