The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202107-03 (libqb: Insecure temporary file)
It was discovered that libqb used predictable filenames (under /dev/shm and /tmp) without O_EXCL.
Impact :
A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the application linked against libqb.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
