MGASA-2023-0298 addresses vulnerabilities in Cadence linked to improper handling of temporary files and risks stemming from local attacks.
Cadence through 0.9.2 2023-08-21 uses an Insecure /tmp/.cadence-aloop-daemon.x Temporary File

Summary

Cadence through 0.9.2 2023-08-21 uses an Insecure /tmp/.cadence-aloop-daemon.x Temporary File. The file is used even if it has been created by a local adversary before Cadence started. The adversary can then delete the file, disrupting Cadence. (CVE-2023-43782)
Cadence through 0.9.2 2023-08-21 uses an Insecure /tmp/cadence-wineasio.reg Temporary File. The filename is used even if it has been created by a local adversary before Cadence started. The adversary can leverage this to create or overwrite files via a symlink attack. In some kernel configurations, code injection into the Wine registry is possible. (CVE-2023-43783)
