Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-05-05 03:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:33
Severity
5.1 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H
Summary
In Maxima through 5.47.0 before 51704c, the plotting facilities make use of predictable names under /tmp. Thus, the contents may be controlled by a local attacker who can create files in advance with these names. This affects, for example, plot2d.
