Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions texlive-filesystem (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue concerns security fixes for texlive-filesystem, including changing the default user for ls-R files and font cache directories to user nobody, switching to rm instead of safe-rm or safe-rmdir to avoid race conditions, and making the cron script more failsafe.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
