CWE-377  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 conmon to version 2:2.0.21-1.rhaos4.5.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2021:0429.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream conmon package and not the conmon package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Ant 1.1 to 1.9.14 and 1.10.0 to 1.10.7 uses the default temporary directory identified by the Java system property java.io.tmpdir for several tasks and may thus leak sensitive information. The fixcrlf and replaceregexp tasks also copy files from the temporary directory back into the build tree allowing an attacker to inject modified source files into the build process.
