CVE:CVE-2008-1687 vulnerable 2026-06-08 04:50:21.522609 Details available
The (1) maketemp and (2) mkstemp builtin functions in GNU m4 before 1.4.11 do not quote their output when a file is created, which might allow context-dependent attackers to trigger a macro expansion, leading to unspecified use of an incorrect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.
