temporary files in an unsafe manner. A local user with write access to
the directory containing a configuration file that Config-IniFiles
manipulates could exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files.

description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
