CVE-2010-2449  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 gource to version 0.26-2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Gource through 0.26 logs to a predictable file name (/tmp/gource-$UID.tmp), enabling attackers to overwrite an arbitrary file via a symlink attack.
