CVE-2022-40299 Information

Description

In Singular before 4.3.1 a predictable /tmp pathname is used (e.g. by sdb.cc) which allows local users to gain the privileges of other users via a procedure in a file under /tmp. NOTE: this CVE Record is about sdb.cc and similar files in the Singular interface that have predictable /tmp pathnames; this CVE Record is not about the lack of a safe temporary-file creation capability in the Singular language.
