hugin, as used on various operating systems including SUSE openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the hugin_debug_optim_results.txt temporary file.
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
