**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** feynmf version 1.08 **Description** The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the `feynmf$$.pl` temporary file. This is related to the `feynmf.pl` script in feynmf, which is used in TeXLive 2007. **Recommendations** For feynm version 1.08, consider restricting access to the `feynmf.pl` script until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `feynmf.pl` script to minimize the risk of exploitation.
