Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions newsgate version 1.6

Description The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/mmp##### temporary file created by mkmailpost in newsgate.

Recommendations For newsgate version 1.6, consider restricting access to the mkmailpost function to prevent arbitrary file overwrites until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, monitor and restrict the use of /tmp/mmp##### temporary files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
