Config-IniFiles is a Perl module for reading .ini-style configuration + files. +

+
+ +

The Perl Config-IniFiles module uses predicatable temporary file names.

+
+ +

A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary + files with the privileges of the user running the application. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All users of the Perl Config-IniFiles module should upgrade to the + latest version: +
