Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has libqb packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- libqb before 1.0.5 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack, because it uses predictable filenames (under /dev/shm and /tmp) without O_EXCL. (CVE-2019-12779)
