Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2008-074
Posted Mar 20, 2008
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - Audacity creates a temporary directory with a predictable name without checking for previous existence of that directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (recording deadlock) by creating the directory before Audacity is run. This issue can also be leveraged to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack.

Problem Description:

Audacity creates a temporary directory with a predictable name without
checking for previous existence of that directory, which allows local
users to cause a denial of service (recording deadlock) by creating
the directory before Audacity is run. This issue can also be leveraged
to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack.

The updated package fixes the issue.
