automake is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution attacks. The vulnerability exists as the “make distcheck” rule in GNU Automake before 1.11.6 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 grants world-writable permissions to the extraction directory, which introduces a race condition that allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
