Discussion
Ampache Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability
Ampache creates temporary files in an insecure manner.

Successfully mounting a symlink attack may allow the attacker to delete or corrupt sensitive files, which may result in a denial of service. Other attacks may also be possible.
Ampache 3.4.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
