TITLE:
id3lib Insecure Temporary File Privilege Escalation

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26536

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26536/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
id3lib 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/15372/

DESCRIPTION:
Nikolaus Schulz has reported a security issue in id3lib, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the "RenderV2ToFile()" function
in src/tag_file.cpp handling temporary files in an insecure manner.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands with escalated
privileges (usually root user).

The security issue is reported in version 3.8.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Nikolaus Schulz.
