writtercontrol in cdcontrol 1.90 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/v-recorder*-out temporary files.
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.
