uu_sort is vulnerable to Insecure Temporary File
35
Low Risk
This Affects:
uu_sortTL;DR
sort created its merge temporary files and, for options that copy the input, its output-copy file without restricting their permissions, leaving them readable by other local users while they hold sort data that may include sensitive input contents. Another user on a shared system could read the temporary file's contents before it is removed. The fix creates these files with private (0600) permissions.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and other local users on the same system can read world-accessible temporary files.
Background info
uu_sort is vulnerable to Insecure Temporary File in versions 0.0.1 - 0.11.0.
How to fix this
Upgrade the uu_sort library to the patch version.
