Tags: security upstream fixed-upstream
Forwarded: https://bitbucket.org/jwilk/pdf2djvu/issue/103

If background of a page is solid but not white, pdf2djvu does the following to create the background layer:

   creates a unique temporary file directly in /tmp (or in $TMPDIR)
   passes name of this file to c44(1) as the output file name

Unfortunately, c44 deletes the output file, and then creates a new one under the same name (without O_EXCL). This opens a race window, during which malicious local user could create their own file under this name.

This bug was fixed upstream in pdf2djvu 0.7.21:
