Overview

com.google.guava:guava is a set of core libraries that includes new collection types (such as multimap and multiset,immutable collections, a graph library, functional types, an in-memory cache and more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions due to the use of Java's default temporary directory for file creation in FileBackedOutputStream. Other users and apps on the machine with access to the default Java temporary directory can access the files created by this class. This more fully addresses the underlying issue described in CVE-2020-8908, by deprecating the permissive temp file creation behavior.

NOTE: Even though the security vulnerability is fixed in version 32.0.0, the maintainers recommend using version 32.0.1, as version 32.0.0 breaks some functionality under Windows.

Remediation

Upgrade com.google.guava:guava to version 32.0.0-android, 32.0.0-jre or higher.

Overview

org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib is a Kotlin Standard Library for JVM.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. A Kotlin application using createTempDir or createTempFile and placing sensitive information within either of these locations would be leaking this information in a read-only way to other users also on this system.

Note: As of version 1.4.21, the vulnerable functions have been marked as deprecated. Due to still being usable, this advisory is kept as "unfixed".
