An issue was discovered in GNU gettext 0.19.8. There is a double free in defaultaddmessage in read-catalog.c, related to an invalid free in pogramparse in po-gram-gen.y, as demonstrated by lt-msgfmt.

The gettext command is registered in the gettext module during load. However, the command is not unregistered at the module unload. So, this may lead to use-after-free issue when the gettext command is invoked after the gettext module unload.

The (1) autopoint and (2) gettextize scripts in the GNU gettext package 1.14 and later versions, as used in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
