The isearch package (textproc/isearch) before 1.47.01nb1 uses the tempnam() function to create insecure temporary files into a publicly-writable area (/tmp).

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Textproc/isearch Openbsd * 1.47.01nb1 (excluding)
