Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions tkmail versions prior to 4.0beta9-8.1

Description The issue concerns multiple vulnerabilities in the tkmail package of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, which can be exploited by a local attacker to compromise the integrity of protected information. A symlink attack on temporary files allows local users to create or overwrite files as other users.
