Details

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña noticed that the auxillary scripts
“tcltags” and “vimspell.sh” created temporary files in an insecure
manner. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite
arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the script
(either by calling it directly or by execution through vim).
