Description:
Some security issues have been reported in GpsDrive, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.
1) The "geo-code" script handles temporary files in an insecure manner.
For more information:
SA31655
2) The "geo-nearest" script handles temporary files in an insecure manner. This can be exploited via symlink attacks to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the script.
3) The "gpssmswatch" script and the "signalposreq()" function in splash.c handle temporary files in an insecure manner. This can be exploited via symlink attacks to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the script or application.
