Description:
Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña has reported some vulnerabilities in f2c, which 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 f2c translator and fc shell script handling temporary files insecurely, which can be exploited via symlink attacks.
