DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in EMC Avamar, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with
escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the application creating cache
files with insecure world-writable permissions and can be exploited
to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

The security issue is reported in the following versions:
* EMC Avamar HP-UX Client 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x
* EMC Avamar Mac OS Client 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x
* EMC Avamar Plugin for Oracle 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x
