Package name tcsh Date November 13th, 2000 Advisory ID MDKSA-2000:069 Affected versions 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 Synopsis Updated tcsh packages fix insecure creation of temporary files

Problem Description

A vulnerability exists with tcsh when using the in-here documents with
the << syntax. When doing this, tcsh uses a temporary file to store
the data. Unfortunately, the temporary file is not created securely
and standard symlink attacks can be used to make tcsh overwrite
arbitrary files.
