Ubuntu Security Notice USN-100-1 - Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena noticed that cdrecord created temporary files in an insecure manner if DEBUG was enabled in /etc/cdrecord/rscsi. If the default value was used (which stored the debug output file in /tmp), this could allow a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking cdrecord.
