Descriptions

The mutt_adv_mktemp function in the Mutt mail client 1.5.12 and earlier does not properly verify that temporary files have been created with restricted permissions, which might allow local users to create files with weak permissions via a race condition between the mktemp and safe_fopen function calls.

La función mutt_adv_mktemp en el cliente de correo Mutt 1.5.12 y anteriores no verifica adecuadamente que los archivos temporales hayan sido creados con permisos restringidos, lo que puede permitir a usuarios locales crear archivos con permisos débiles mediante una condición de carrera entre las llamadas a las funciones mktemp y safe_fopen.
