Discussion
D-Bus Configuration Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability
D-Bus is prone to a vulnerability because it creates temporary files in an insecure manner.
An attacker with local access could potentially exploit this issue to perform symbolic-link attacks.
Successfully mounting a symlink attack may allow the attacker to corrupt sensitive files or gain access to sensitive information. Other attacks may also be possible.
Versions prior to D-Bus 1.2.28 are vulnerable.
