NVD Description

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

The System.CodeDom.Compiler classes in Novell Mono create temporary files with insecure permissions, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack.
