Description:
A security issue has been reported in P3nfs, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the "bluetooth.rc" script handling temporary files in an insecure manner, which can be exploited via symlink attacks to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files.

The security issue is reported in version 5.19. Other versions may also be affected.
