PYSEC-2026-3253 Insecure temporary file in Tensorflow

Impact In multiple places, TensorFlow uses tempfile.mktemp to create temporary files. While this is acceptable in testing, in utilities and libraries it is dangerous as a different process can create the file between the check for the filename in mktemp and the actual creation of the file by a...

CVE-2026-41991

A flaw was found in the gzexe utility of GNU gzip. When the mktemp utility is not available, gzexe creates temporary files with predictable names based on the process ID. A local attacker can exploit this by pre-creating a symbolic link to an arbitrary file at the predicted temporary file path...

CVE-2026-41991

GNU gzip contains a vulnerability in the gzexe utility related to insecure temporary file handling. When the mktemp utility is not available in the user’s PATH, gzexe falls back to constructing a temporary file path based solely on the process ID PID. This predictable filename is created without...
