NVD Description

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

Tools/faqwiz/move-faqwiz.sh (aka the generic FAQ wizard moving tool) in Python 2.4.5 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a tmp$RANDOM.tmp temporary file. NOTE: there may not be common usage scenarios in which tmp$RANDOM.tmp is located in an untrusted directory.
