+  <title>MIT krb5: Insecure temporary file use in send-pr.sh</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    The send-pr.sh script, included in the mit-krb5 package, is vulnerable to
+    symlink attacks, potentially allowing a local user to overwrite arbitrary
+    files with the rights of the user running the utility.

+    The send-pr.sh script creates temporary files in world-writeable
+    directories with predictable names.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files
+    directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+    send-pr.sh is called, this would result in the file being overwritten
+    with the rights of the user running the utility, which could be the
+    root user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All MIT krb5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
