CVE-2014-1639: Debian Syncevolution

Low severity, CVSS 3.3. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

syncevo/installcheck-local.sh in syncevolution before 1.3.99.7 uses mktemp to create a safe temporary file but appends a suffix to the original filename and writes to this new filename, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the new filename.

Affected products

• Debian Syncevolution: up to and including 1.3.99.6
