Subject: CVE requests: didjvu, pdf2djvu: insecure use of /tmp
didjvu and pdf2djvu are DjVu encoders that both use c44 (a command-line
IW44 encoder, part of DjVuLibre) under the hood. More precisely, this is
what they do:
* create a unique temporary file directly in /tmp (or in $TMPDIR)
* pass name of this file to c44 as the output file name
Unfortunately, it turns out that c44 deletes the output file, and then
creates a new one under the same name (without O_EXCL). This opens a
race window, during which malicious user could their own file under this
name.
The bugs were fixed in didjvu 0.4 and pdf2djvu 0.7.21.
Please assign CVEs to these vulnerabilities.
