NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python311-pytest package and not the python311-pytest package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 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.
