TITLE:
SimpleCDR-X Insecure Temporary Image File Creation

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA16835

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/16835/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
SimpleCDR-X 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5710/

DESCRIPTION:
Jonas Thambert has reported a security issue in SimpleCDR-X, which
can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain access to
sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to the application creating a
temporary copy of the ISO image with insecure file permissions in
"/tmp/.temp". This may allow malicious users to gain access to the
contents of the image when it is being written to the CD.

Successful exploitation requires that the user has not changed the
default configuration of the temporary directory.

The security issue has been reported in version 1.3.3. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Configure the user's home directory or a more secure location as the
temporary directory.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Jonas Thambert
