Description Andrew Potter 2011-02-07 20:39:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
      tmpname_timestamper =
         estrjoin("", "/tmp/feh_", cppid, "_", basename, NULL);
...
            execlp("wget", "wget", "-N", "-O", tmpname_timestamper, newurl,
                   quiet, (char*) NULL);

If attacker knows PID of feh and knows the URL, it can create the link to any user file. wget would overwrite it.
