The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-23 (Website META Language: Insecure temporary file usage)

Temporary files are handled insecurely in the files     wml_backend/p1_ipp/ipp.src, wml_contrib/wmg.cgi, and     wml_backend/p3_eperl/eperl_sys.c, allowing users to overwrite or delete     arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the program.

Impact :

Local users can exploit the insecure temporary file vulnerabilities via     symlink attacks to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.

Workaround :

Restrict access to the temporary directory to trusted users only.
