hi,all !
i'm sorry if this bug has been reported.
klprfax_filter (kdeutils-2.2-2),is an application to make
a printer that acts as a fax.
when using klprfax_filter,it would creat a temp
file,/tmp/klprfax.filter,but the temporary file was not
created safely,this vulnerability could be exploited to
overwrite arbitrary files!
just tested on redhat 7.1.
Cheers
