CVE-2012-0943
debian/guest-account in Light Display Manager (lightdm) 1.0.x before 1.0.6 and 1.1.x before 1.1.7, as used in Ubuntu Linux 11.10, allows local users to delete arbitrary files via a space in the name of a file in /tmp.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.76%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
