Hello, Josh, Steve, vendors, It was found that fabric, a simple Pythonic remote deployment tool, used insecure way for creation of temporary files, when uploading template text files and project files to a remote system. A local attacker could use this flaw to conduct symlink attacks to upload sensitive information to remote host or to overwrite certain local system files.

Thank you & Regards, Jan. -- Jan iankko Lieskovsky / Red Hat Security Response Team
