In the ebuild package through smokeping-2.7.3-r1 for SmokePing on Gentoo, the initscript uses a PID file that is writable by the smokeping user. By writing arbitrary PIDs to that file, the smokeping user can cause a denial of service to arbitrary PIDs when the service is stopped.

In Keylime before 6.3.0, Revocation Notifier uses a fixed /tmp path for UNIX domain socket which can allow unprivileged users a method to prohibit keylime operations.

NETSCOUT nGeniusONE before 6.4.0 b2350 allows Arbitrary File Creation by authenticated users.

Temporary data passed between application components by Budgie Extras Takeabreak applet could potentially be viewed or manipulated. The data is stored in a location that is accessible to any user who has local access to the system. Attackers may pre-create and control this file to present false information to users or deny access to the application and panel.

The deployment script in the unsupported "OpenShift Extras" set of add-on scripts, in Red Hat Openshift 1, installs a default public key in the root user's authorized_keys file.

jenkins: Temporary plugin file created with insecure permissions

Jenkins 2.423 and earlier, LTS 2.414.1 and earlier creates a temporary file in the system temporary directory with the default permissions for newly created files when installing a plugin from a URL, potentially allowing attackers with access to the system temporary directory to replace the file before it is installed in Jenkins, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Adobe Creative Cloud installer arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability

Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application version 5.3 (and earlier) is affected by a file handling vulnerability that could allow an attacker to cause arbitrary file overwriting. Exploitation of this issue requires physical access and user interaction.

Adobe Digital Editions Arbitrary file system write vulnerability

Adobe Digital Editions version 4.5.11.187245 (and earlier) is affected by a Privilege Escalation vulnerability during installation. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve arbitrary file system write in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Adobe Photoshop Elements Privilege Escalation Vulnerability - symbolic link

Adobe Photoshop Elements version 5.2 (and earlier) is affected by an insecure temporary file creation vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to call functions against the installer to perform high privileged actions. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

Adobe Premiere Elements Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Adobe Premiere Elements version 5.2 (and earlier) is affected by an insecure temporary file creation vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to call functions against the installer to perform high privileged actions. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

Adobe Digital Editions Installer flaw leads to Local Privilege Escalation

Adobe Digital Editions 4.5.11.187646 (and earlier) are affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Digital Editions installer. An authenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges. User interaction is required before product installation to abuse this vulnerability.

Adobe Creative Cloud DLL Hijacking Local Application Denial of Service

Adobe Creative Cloud version 5.5 (and earlier) are affected by an Application denial of service vulnerability in the Creative Cloud Desktop installer. An authenticated attacker with root privileges could leverage this vulnerability to achieve denial of service by planting a malicious file on the victim's local machine. User interaction is required before product installation to abuse this vulnerability.

Temporary File Information Disclosure Vulnerability

MPXJ is an open source library to read and write project plans from a variety of file formats and databases. On Unix-like operating systems (not Windows or macos), MPXJ's use of `File.createTempFile(..)` results in temporary files being created with the permissions `-rw-r--r--`. This means that any other user on the system can read the contents of this file. When MPXJ is reading a schedule file which requires the creation of a temporary file or directory, a knowledgeable local user could locate these transient files while they are in use and would then be able to read the schedule being processed by MPXJ. The problem has been patched, MPXJ version 10.14.1 and later includes the necessary changes. Users unable to upgrade may set `java.io.tmpdir` to a directory to which only the user running the application has access will prevent other users from accessing these temporary files.

Local Information Disclosure Vulnerability in io.netty:netty-codec-http

Netty is an open-source, asynchronous event-driven network application framework. The package `io.netty:netty-codec-http` prior to version 4.1.77.Final contains an insufficient fix for CVE-2021-21290. When Netty's multipart decoders are used local information disclosure can occur via the local system temporary directory if temporary storing uploads on the disk is enabled. This only impacts applications running on Java version 6 and lower. Additionally, this vulnerability impacts code running on Unix-like systems, and very old versions of Mac OSX and Windows as they all share the system temporary directory between all users. Version 4.1.77.Final contains a patch for this vulnerability. As a workaround, specify one's own `java.io.tmpdir` when starting the JVM or use DefaultHttpDataFactory.setBaseDir(...) to set the directory to something that is only readable by the current user.

glusterfs: glusterfs-server %pretrans rpm script temporary file issue

Red Hat Gluster Storage RPM Package 3.2 allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code as root.

scala: Privilege escalation in Scala compilation daemon

The compilation daemon in Scala before 2.10.7, 2.11.x before 2.11.12, and 2.12.x before 2.12.4 uses weak permissions for private files in /tmp/scala-devel/${USER:shared}/scalac-compile-server-port, which allows local users to write to arbitrary class files and consequently gain privileges.

pulp: Insecure creation of temporary directory when generating new CA key

Pulp before 2.8.3 creates a temporary directory during CA key generation in an insecure manner.

pulp: Insecure temporary file used when generating certificate for Pulp Nodes

The pulp-gen-nodes-certificate script in Pulp before 2.8.3 allows local users to leak the keys or write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

jenkins-plugin-git-client: Storing sensitive information in world-readable temporary files (SECURITY-445)

Jenkins Git Client Plugin 2.4.2 and earlier creates temporary file with insecure permissions resulting in information disclosure

salt: insecure /tmp file handling in salt/modules/serverdensity_device.py
