CUPS on Mandriva Linux 2008.0, 2008.1, 2009.0, Corporate Server (CS) 3.0 and 4.0, and Multi Network Firewall (MNF) 2.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/pdf.log temporary file.
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
