NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pytest package and not the pytest package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

pytest through 9.0.2 on UNIX relies on directories with the /tmp/pytest-of-{user} name pattern, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges.
