DETAIL |
21 |
|
22 |
The scrollkeeper-get-cl program creates temporary files in an insecure |
23 |
manner in /tmp using guessable filenames. |
24 |
Since scrollkeeper is called automatically when a user logs into a Gnome |
25 |
session, an attacker with local access can easily create and overwrite |
26 |
files as another user. |
