Impact :

    Remote unauthenticated attackers may be able to execute arbitrary code
      with the privileges of the TinTin++ process, cause a Denial of Service,
      or truncate arbitrary files in the top level of the home directory
      belonging to the user running the TinTin++ process.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
