Cadsoft Video Disk Recorder Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability

Cadsoft Video Disk Recorder 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.
