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 Execute class in shellutils in logilab-commons before 0.61.0 uses tempfile.mktemp, which allows local users to have an unspecified impact by pre-creating the temporary file.
