CVE-2007-4460

Published: 21 August 2007

The RenderV2ToFile function in tag_file.cpp in id3lib (aka libid3) 3.8.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file whose name is constructed from the name of a file being tagged.

local working directory can do many other bad things to you too.
