Xml-Dt · Xml-Dt · CVE-2014-5260
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
XML-DT versions prior to 0.64
**Description**
The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/ xml ##### temporary file. This is possible due to vulnerabilities in the `mkxmltype` and `mkdtskel` scripts.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.64, update to version 0.64 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `mkxmltype` and `mkdtskel` scripts until the update is applied.
