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.
