Id Description
11919 Cscope Tempfile Symlink Arbitrary File Deletion

Cscope contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to predict an upcoming temporary filename and use a symlink attack to cause corruption and removal of arbitrary system files. The product utilizes the directory found in the environment variable "TMPDIR" to store it's temporary files. During creation of these temporary files, cscope adheres to a predictable naming scheme for the filenames and does not check for an existing file by the chosen name. This issue may result in a loss of integrity.
