Discussion

PEAR Installer Multiple Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerabilities

PEAR creates temporary files in an insecure manner.

An attacker with local access could potentially exploit these issues to perform symbolic-link attacks.

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.

PEAR 1.9.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
