Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The latest release of Ubuntu is not vulnerable to symlink race attacks, but earlier releases will need fixing. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features#symlink Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package.
