DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in HP Application Lifecycle Management,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain
actions with escalated privileges.

The weakness is caused due to the uninstall script (foundation.sh)
using temporary files in an insecure manner, which can be exploited
to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

The weakness is reported in version 11.00. Other versions may also be
affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users only.
