CVE-2014-1640: Debian Axiom

Low severity, CVSS 3.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

axiom-test.sh in axiom 20100701-1.1 uses tempfile 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 Axiom: version 20100701-1.1 only
