CVE-2024-34490

Thus, the contents may be controlled by a local attacker who can create files in advance with these names.

MEDIUM 5.1EPSS 0.18%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Maxima through 5.47.0 before 51704c, the plotting facilities make use of predictable names under /tmp. Thus, the contents may be controlled by a local attacker who can create files in advance with these names. This affects, for example, plot2d.
