Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition. On Unix like systems, the system's temporary directory is shared between all users on that system.

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient session expiration issue.
