Just quoting from our bug report: As noted in the SUSE bug report, numerous /tmp race conditions exist in ppc64-diag, in particular: rtas_errd/diag_support.c:233: char command[]="/usr/bin/find /proc/device-tree -name status -print > /tmp/get_dt_files"; rtas_errd/diag_support.c:241: fp1 = fopen("/tmp/get_dt_files", "r"); rtas_errd/prrn_hotplug:8:TMPFILE=`mktemp -p /tmp` scripts/ppc64_diag_mkrsrc:126:mkdir "/tmp/diagSEsnap", 0775; scripts/ppc64_diag_mkrsrc:127:$general_eed_file = "/tmp/diagSEsnap/snapH.tar.gz"; In the case of rtas_errd/prrn_hotplug, mktemp is used but is assumed to have succeeded; there is no check for the return value. mktemp should probably be used properly in all of these. I don't know if the data in /tmp/diagSEsnap is sensitive or not, but if it is, the permissions on that directory should probably be tightened up. I think a single CVE should suffice for this. The above is from ppc64-diag-2.6.1. Thanks.
