CWE-330  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 ace to version 6.2.7+dfsg-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ace package and not the ace package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

generate_doygen.pl in ace before 6.2.7+dfsg-2 creates predictable file names in the /tmp directory which allows attackers to gain elevated privileges.
