NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python39-cffi package and not the python39-cffi package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was found in the CPython tempfile.TemporaryDirectory class affecting versions 3.12.1, 3.11.7, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and 3.8.18 and prior.

The tempfile.TemporaryDirectory class would dereference symlinks during cleanup of permissions-related errors. This means users which can run privileged programs are potentially able to modify permissions of files referenced by symlinks in some circumstances.
