Description Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-09-19 21:55:35 UTC
A security issue has been reported in SKK Tools. This can be
exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with
escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the "main()" function in
skkdic-expr.c creating temporary files in an insecure manner. This
can be exploited via symlink attacks to overwrite or delete arbitrary
files with the privileges of the user running the application.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.2. Other versions may also
be affected.

Solution:
Restrict access to trusted users only.
