[GLSA-200510-04] Texinfo: Insecure temporary file creation |
||
Texinfo: Insecure temporary file creation Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200510-04 (Texinfo: Insecure temporary file creation) Frank Lichtenheld has discovered that the "sort_offline()" function in texindex insecurely creates temporary files with predictable filenames. Impact A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When texindex is executed, this would result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the application. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
