Warning: nagios-3.4.4-1.el6ost/nagios.upgradetov3.sh

Tempfile is created by using $$ should use mktemp instead.

tmp1=/tmp/nagioscfg.$$.tmp

--- Additional comment from Kurt Seifried on 2013-04-30 03:19:10 EDT ---

nagios.upgradetov3.sh is not in upstreams files, it's added by Red Hat and several other vendors. So splitting this bug again.

Other sources

nagios.upgradetov3.sh, as distributed by Red Hat and possibly others for Nagios Core 3.4.4, 3.5.1, and earlier, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary nagioscfg file with a predictable name in /tmp/.
