Mono: Insecure temporary file creation Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200611-23 (Mono: Insecure temporary file creation) Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team discovered that the System.CodeDom.Compiler classes of Mono create temporary files with insecure permissions. Impact A local attacker could create links in the temporary file directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When an affected class is called, this could result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the script. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
