Description: Debian has issued an update for snmptrapfmt. This fixes a vulnerability, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions on a vulnerable system with escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to the insecure creation of the log file in "log.c". This can potentially be exploited via symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the application.
