php-pear is vulnerable to symlink attack. It was found that the “pear” command created temporary files in an insecure way when installing packages. A malicious, local user could use this flaw to conduct a symbolic link attack, allowing them to overwrite the contents of arbitrary files accessible to the victim running the pear install command.
