Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions logilab-common versions prior to 0.61.0

Description The issue concerns the extract keys from pdf and fill pdf functions in pdf ext.py, allowing local users to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly have other unspecified impact via a symlink attack on /tmp/toto.fdf.
