Netragard has reported a vulnerability in Roxio Toast Titanium, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to the "dejavu_manual.rb" Ruby script being created insecurely in the "/tmp" directory. This can be exploited via a race condition to execute arbitrary code with root privileges when an administrator does a manual backup in Deja Vu.

Some other Ruby scripts may also be created insecurely.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 7. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
