CWE-362  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 fish to version 2.1.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream fish package and not the fish package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The funced function in fish (aka fish-shell) 1.23.0 before 2.1.1 does not properly create temporary files, which allows local users to gain privileges via a temporary file with a predictable name.
