CVE-2012-3386 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The "make distcheck" rule in GNU Automake before 1.11.6 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 grants world-writable permissions to the extraction directory, which introduces a race condition that allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.. EPSS estimates a 0.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
