CVE-2005-4536: Debian Libmail-Audit-Perl

Low severity, CVSS 2.1. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Mail::Audit module in libmail-audit-perl 2.1-5, when logging is enabled without a default log file specified, uses predictable log filenames, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the [PID]-audit.log temporary file.
