Audacity insecure temporary file handling

Audacity 1.3.2 creates a temporary directory with a predictable name without checking for previous existence of that directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (recording deadlock) by creating the directory before Audacity is run. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack.

ClamAV 0.92 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) temporary files used by the cli_gentempfd function in libclamav/others.c or on (2) .ascii files used by sigtool, when utf16-decode is enabled.

Open redirect vulnerability in Menalto Gallery before 2.2.4 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the (1) Core and (2) print modules.

wyrd 1.4.3b allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the wyrd-tmp.[USERID] temporary file.

BEA WebLogic Portal 10.0 and 9.2 through Maintenance Pack 2, under certain circumstances, can redirect a user from the https:// URI for the Portal Administration Console to an http URI, which allows remote attackers to sniff the session.

cman/fence: insecure temporary file usage in the egenera fence agent

The pserver_shutdown function in fence_egenera in cman 2.20080629 and 2.20080801 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/eglog temporary file.

emacs insecure /tmp file usage

vcdiff in Emacs 20.7 to 22.1.50, when used with SCCS, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

emacspeak: Insecure auxiliary /tmp file usage (symlink attack possible)

extract-table.pl in Emacspeak 26 and 28 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the extract-table.csv temporary file.

openswan: Insecure auxiliary /tmp file usage (symlink attack possible)

The IPSEC livetest tool in Openswan 2.4.12 and earlier, and 2.6.x through 2.6.16, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the (1) ipseclive.conn and (2) ipsec.olts.remote.log temporary files. NOTE: in many distributions and the upstream version, this tool has been disabled.

Open redirect vulnerability in admin/auth.php in NooMS 1.1 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the g_site_url parameter.

python: Generic FAQ wizard moving tool insecure auxiliary /tmp file usage (symlink attack possible)

Tools/faqwiz/move-faqwiz.sh (aka the generic FAQ wizard moving tool) in Python 2.4.5 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a tmp$RANDOM.tmp temporary file. NOTE: there may not be common usage scenarios in which tmp$RANDOM.tmp is located in an untrusted directory.

opensuse-updater in openSUSE 10.2 allows local users to access arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

Multiple open redirect vulnerabilities in Joomla! 1.5 before 1.5.7 allow remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a "passed in" URL.

mysql: incomplete upstream fix for CVE-2008-2079

MySQL before 5.0.67 allows local users to bypass certain privilege checks by calling CREATE TABLE on a MyISAM table with modified (1) DATA DIRECTORY or (2) INDEX DIRECTORY arguments that are originally associated with pathnames without symlinks, and that can point to tables created at a future time at which a pathname is modified to contain a symlink to a subdirectory of the MySQL home data directory. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4097.

plaiter in Plait before 1.6 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) cut.$$, (2) head.$$, (3) awk.$$, and (4) ps.$$ temporary files in /tmp/.
