[GLSA-200410-02] Netpbm: Multiple temporary file issues |
||
Netpbm: Multiple temporary file issues Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-02 (Netpbm: Multiple temporary file issues) Utilities contained in the Netpbm package prior to the 9.25 version contain defects in temporary file handling. They create temporary files with predictable names without checking first that the target file doesn't already exist. Impact A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When a user or a tool calls one of the affected utilities, this would result in file overwriting with the rights of the user running the utility. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
