CVE-2007-6061  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 audacity to version 1.3.4-1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream audacity package and not the audacity package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Audacity 1.3.2 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. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to delete arbitrary files or directories via a symlink attack.
