ekg insecure temporary file creation and arbitrary code execution
Vendor: http://dev.null.pl/ekg/
Advisory: http://www.zataz.net/adviso/ekg-06062005.txt
Vendor informed: yes
Exploit available: no
Impact : high
Exploitation : high
#########################################################
The vulnerabilities are caused due to temporary file being created
insecurely.
This can be exploited via symlink attacks in combination to create and
overwrite
arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the affected
script and
also arbitrary command possible by spiking the temporary file.
