arb-common 0.0.20071207.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (a) /tmp/arb_fdnaml_, (b) /tmp/arb_pids_, (c) /tmp/arbdsmz.html, and (d) /tmp/arbdsmz.htm temporary files, related to the (1) arb_fastdnaml and (2) dszmconnect.pl scripts.
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.
