Descriptions

The (1) maketemp and (2) mkstemp builtin functions in GNU m4 before 1.4.11 do not quote their output when a file is created, which might allow context-dependent attackers to trigger a macro expansion, leading to unspecified use of an incorrect filename.

Las funciones (1) maketemp y (2) mkstemp incluidas en GNU m4 versiones anteriores a 1.4.11 no citan sus salidas cuando un fichero es creado, lo cual podría permitir a atacantes dependientes de contexto disparar una expansión macro, llevando a cabo un uso no especificado de un nombre de fichero incorrecto.
