The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-23 (Website META Language: Insecure temporary file usage)
Temporary files are handled insecurely in the files wml_backend/p1_ipp/ipp.src, wml_contrib/wmg.cgi, and wml_backend/p3_eperl/eperl_sys.c, allowing users to overwrite or delete arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the program.
Impact :
Local users can exploit the insecure temporary file vulnerabilities via symlink attacks to perform certain actions with escalated privileges.
Workaround :
Restrict access to the temporary directory to trusted users only.
