CVE-2012-6648
gdm/guest-session-cleanup.sh in gdm-guest-session 0.24 and earlier, as used in Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS, 10.10, and 11.04, 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 (0.38%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
