MediumMetricsAV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
The xmlwf tool in libexpat through 2.10.0 contains a symlink following vulnerability because -d output mode opens files with fopen("wb"), which follows symbolic links. Local attackers with write access to the output directory can plant a symlink at the expected output name to truncate or overwrite files writable by the xmlwf user.
