Overview

logilab-common is a collection of low-level Python packages and modules used by Logilab projects

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure use of temporary file attacks. The (1) extract_keys_from_pdf and (2) fill_pdf functions in pdf_ext.py in logilab-commons before 0.61.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and possibly have other unspecified impact via a symlink attack on /tmp/toto.fdf.
