Opensuse · Libqb · CVE-2019-12779
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libqb versions prior to 1.0.5
**Description**
The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. This is because libqb uses predictable filenames under /dev/shm and /tmp without O EXCL.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.0.5, update to version 1.0.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to /dev/shm and /tmp to minimize the risk of exploitation.
