CVE-2008-0673
TinTin++ 1.97.9 and WinTin++ 1.97.9 open files on the basis of an inbound file-transfer request, before the user has an opportunity to decline the request, which allows remote attackers to truncate arbitrary files in the top level of a home directory.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.60%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
