Perl · Libmail-Audit-Perl · CVE-2005-4536
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libmail-audit-perl version 2.1-5
**Description**
The Mail::Audit module in libmail-audit-perl has an issue when logging is enabled without a default log file specified. It uses predictable log filenames, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the temporary file.
**Recommendations**
For libmail-audit-perl version 2.1-5, consider specifying a default log file when logging is enabled to prevent the use of predictable log filenames. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the logging functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
