Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: SNG version 1.0.2

Description: The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, including /tmp/recompiled$$.png, /tmp/decompiled$$.sng, and /tmp/canonicalized$$.sng.

Recommendations: For SNG version 1.0.2, consider restricting access to the temporary files /tmp/recompiled$$.png, /tmp/decompiled$$.sng, and /tmp/canonicalized$$.sng to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the sng regress function until a patch is available.
