Subject: CVE request for check_diskio nagios/icinga plugin

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Dear all,

The check_diskio plugin for nagios/icinga from Matteo Corti
(https://svn.id.ethz.ch/nagios_plugins/check_diskio/) is subject to a
/tmp symlink race attack in its latest version (and versions before as
well).

This plugin is used to monitor the I/Os on device on Linux systems. To
be able to make a diff between two calls, it keeps the latest readings
into a fixed pattern file name: /tmp/check_diskio_status-$user-$device

It does not check for the file being a symlink (à la PEAR) or whatever
when opening it.

Could a CVE be assigned to this?
The author has been contacted. I'll make him know the ID.

Cheers,
