Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - The fixproc application in Net-SNMP creates temporary files with predictable file names which could allow a malicious local attacker to change the contents of the temporary file by exploiting a race condition, which could possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code. As well, a local attacker could create symbolic links in the /tmp directory that point to a valid file that would then be overwritten when fixproc is executed (CVE-2005-1740).
