_is_safe in the File::Temp module for Perl does not properly handle
symlinks.
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| seth-arnold | No agreed-upon or released patch exists for _is_safe(). Solar Designer questions the _is_safe() MEDIUM and HIGH checks altogether; attempted patches to check the safety of parent directories forbid /tmp symlinks. It is probably impossible to make _is_safe() secure. Ubuntu symlink and hardlink restrictions should prevent this entire class of problems. |
