    Florian Schilhabel from the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team found
    that Davfs2 insecurely created .pid files in /tmp. Furthermore, Trustix
    Secure Linux found that the lvmcreate_initrd script, included in the
    lvm-user Gentoo package, also creates temporary files in
    world-writeable directories with predictable names.
  
Impact :

    A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary
    files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem.
    When Davfs2 or lvmcreate_initrd is called, this would result in the
    file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the
    software, which could be the root user.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
