QID 980901

QID 980901: Java (maven) Security Update for org.scala-lang:scala-compiler (GHSA-qvxv-pmq9-4q7g)

The compilation daemon in Scala before 2.10.7, 2.11.x before 2.11.12, and 2.12.x before 2.12.4 uses weak permissions for private files in /tmp/scala-devel/${USER:shared}/scalac-compile-server-port, which allows local users to write to arbitrary class files and consequently gain privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
