Description Murray McAllister 2014-03-13 12:37:24 UTC

Steve Kemp reported two temporary file issues in pen, a load balancer for "simple" TCP based protocols such as HTTP and SMTP.

The first is the use of "/tmp/webfile.html" when requesting web stats.

The second is the use of "/tmp/penctl.cgi" in the penctl.cgi CGI script.

A local attacker could use these flaws to perform symbolic link attacks.
