Title: Exmh Local Symlink Vulnerability
Severity: INFO
Description:
Exmh is an X user interface for the Unix MH mail UI. An error-reporting feature of exmh exhibits a vulnerability to symlink attacks.
A dialog allows a user to return bug reports to the software developer through email.
A temporary file (/tmp/exmhErrorMsg) is created insecurely, allowing a malicious local user to carry out a symlink attack, potentially overwriting arbitrary files owned or writeable by the user running exmh.
