ml85p Driver Symbolic Link Vulnerability

ml85p is a Linux driver for Samsung ML-85G series printers. It may be bundled with distributions of Ghostscript. ml85p does not check for symbolic links when creating image output files. These files are created in /tmp with a guessable naming format, making it trivial for attackers to exploit this vulnerability. Since user-supplied data is written to the target file, attackers may be able to elevate privileges.

Mitigation:

Ensure that ml85p is not installed on the system and that the system is not vulnerable to this type of attack.
