FreeBSD : mono -- 'System.CodeDom.Compiler' Insecure Temporary Creation (5a39a22e-5478-11db-8f1a-000a48049292)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22516

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Sebastian Krahmer reports :

Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE security team discovered that the System.CodeDom.Compiler classes used temporary files in an insecure way. This could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
Under some circumstances, a local attacker could also exploit this to inject arbitrary code into running Mono processes.

Solution

Update the affected package.
