    magnatunebrowser/magnatunebrowser.cpp uses the album_info.xml temporary
    file in an insecure manner.
  
Impact :

    A local attacker could perform a symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary
    files on the system with the privileges of the user running the
    application.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
