NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby-parser package and not the ruby-parser package as distributed by Debian.

The diff_pp function in lib/gauntlet_rubyparser.rb in the ruby_parser gem 3.1.1 and earlier for Ruby allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file with a predictable name in /tmp.
