7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

The (1) maketemp and (2) mkstemp builtin functions in GNU m4 before 1.4.11 do not quote their output when a file is created, which might allow context-dependent attackers to trigger a macro expansion, leading to unspecified use of an incorrect filename.

Affected configurations

• gnu m4 (<= 1.4.10)
