NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream leptonica package and not the leptonica package as distributed by RHEL.
Leptonica through 1.75.3 uses hardcoded /tmp pathnames, which might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files or have unspecified other impact by creating files in advance or winning a race condition, as demonstrated by /tmp/junk_split_image.ps in prog/splitimage2pdf.c.
