Discussion
GpsDrive 'geo-nearest' Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability
GpsDrive creates temporary files in an insecure manner.
An attacker with local access could potentially exploit this issue to perform symbolic-link attacks, overwriting arbitrary files in the context of the affected application.
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.
GpsDrive 2.09 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
