GNU Emacs Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability
Emacs creates temporary files in an insecure manner. An attacker with local access could potentially exploit this issue to perform symbolic-link attacks, overwriting arbitrary files in the context of the affected application. Successfully mounting a symlink attack may allow the attacker to delete or corrupt sensitive files, which may result in a denial of service. Other attacks may also be possible. This issue affects Emacs 21.4a and 22.2; other versions may also be affected. |
