Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: perltidy versions 20120701-1 and earlier

Description: The issue allows local users to obtain sensitive information or write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack, related to the use of the tmpnam function. This is due to the make temporary filename function in the affected software.

Recommendations: For perltidy versions 20120701-1 and earlier, consider disabling the make temporary filename function until a patch is available to prevent potential symlink attacks.
