Last modified
CVE-2014-1624 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Race condition in the xdg.BaseDirectory.get_runtime_dir function in python-xdg 0.25 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by pre-creating /tmp/pyxdg-runtime-dir-fallback-victim to point to a victim-owned location, then replacing it with a symlink to an attacker-controlled location once the get_runtime_dir function is called.. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
