+ <title>Hylafax: Insecure temporary file creation in xferfaxstats script</title>

+ Hylafax is vulnerable to linking attacks, potentially allowing a local user
+ to overwrite arbitrary files.

+ Hylafax is a client-server fax package for class 1 and 2 fax modems.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Javier Fernandez-Sanguino has discovered that xferfaxstats cron script
+ supplied by Hylafax insecurely creates temporary files with predictable
+ filenames.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary file
+ directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When
+ the xferfaxstats script of Hylafax is executed, this would result in
+ the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the
+ script, which typically is the root user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Hylafax users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose net-misc/hylafax</code>
