Descriptions

cache.py in Suds 0.4, when tempdir is set to None, allows local users to redirect SOAP queries and possibly have other unspecified impact via a symlink attack on a cache file with a predictable name in /tmp/suds/.

cache.py en Suds 0.4, cuando tempdir es establecido a None, permite a usuarios locales redirigir consultas SOAP y posiblemente tener otros efectos no especificados a través de un ataque de enlaces simbólicos sobre un archivo de caché con un nombre predecible en /tmp/suds.

Ralph Loader discovered that Suds incorrectly handled temporary files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files. In the default installation of Ubuntu, this should be prevented by the Yama link restrictions.
