Description:
Some security issues have been reported in TkMan, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.

The security issues are caused due to the application using temporary files in an insecure manner. This can be exploited to e.g. overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks.

This security issue is reported in version 2.2. Other versions may also be affected.
