NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python2-pytest package and not the python2-pytest package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

pytest through 9.0.2 on UNIX relies on directories with the /tmp/pytest-of-{user} name pattern, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges.
