Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Libmenu-cache version 1.0.2

Description The issue arises from Libmenu-cache insecurely using /tmp for a socket file. This allows a local user to cause a denial of service, resulting in menu unavailability.

Recommendations For Libmenu-cache version 1.0.2, consider restricting access to the /tmp directory to prevent exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the affected socket file in /tmp to minimize the risk of denial of service. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
