Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Xpdf versions prior to 0.24.4 Poppler versions prior to 0.24.4

Description The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files with predictable names, specifically when the openTempFile function in goo/gfile.cc is used on a system other than Unix.

For Poppler versions prior to 0.24.4, update to version 0.24.4 or later to resolve the issue.
