MySQL Aborted Bug Report Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability

MySQL Aborted Bug Report Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability

The MySQL bug reporting utility (mysqlbug) creates a temporary file with a static name when a bug report is aborted. An attacker may exploit this issue to launch symbolic link attacks that will most likely result in corruption of files. This could cause destruction of data and denial of services.

This issue would only affect Unix/Linux-based operating systems.
