SaltStack Salt CVE-2014-3563 Multiple Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerabilities

Salt is prone to multiple insecure temporary-file-creation vulnerabilities because it creates temporary files in an insecure manner

An attacker with local access could potentially exploit these issues 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 corrupt sensitive files or gain access to sensitive information. Other attacks may also be possible.
