NVIDIA Cg Toolkit Installer Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability

NVIDIA Cg Toolkit Installer Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability

NVIDIA Cg Toolkit Installer creates temporary files in an insecure manner.

An attacker with local access could 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.

NVIDIA Cg Toolkit Installer 2.0.0015 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
