NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream extplorer package and not the extplorer package as distributed by Ubuntu.

eXtplorer 2.1.0b6 uses world writable permissions for the /var/lib/extplorer/ftp_tmp directory, which allows local users to delete or overwrite arbitrary files.
