NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nsis package and not the nsis package as distributed by Ubuntu.
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) before 2.49 uses temporary folder locations that allow unprivileged local users to overwrite files. This allows a local attack in which either a plugin or the uninstaller can be replaced by a Trojan horse program.
