Description:
Stefan Nordhausen has reported a vulnerability in libtool, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The problem is that a temporary directory is created without checking if it already exists when packages using libtool are compiled.
Versions prior to 1.5.2 are reportedly affected.
