Description:
6
 
 The MagnatuneBrowser::listDownloadComplete function in
7
 
 magnatunebrowser/magnatunebrowser.cpp in Amarok before 1.4.10 allows local
8
 
 users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the
9
 
 album_info.xml temporary file.

Notes:
12
 
 jdstrand> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper) does not contain the vulnerable code
13
 
 jdstrand> amarok tries to remove the file before opening it, so there is
14
 
   a TOCTOU vulnerability and a symlink could be inserted before open. This
15
 
   makes the attack much harder, but still possible.
