CVE-2014-5260

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions XML-DT versions prior to 0.64

Description The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/ xml ##### temporary file. This is possible due to vulnerabilities in the mkxmltype and mkdtskel scripts.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.64, update to version 0.64 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the mkxmltype and mkdtskel scripts until the update is applied.
