src/unit_test.c in gpsdrive (aka gpsdrive-scripts) 2.10~pre4 might allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/gpsdrive-unit-test/proc temporary file, a different vector than CVE-2008-4959 and CVE-2008-5380.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-5704 is a local file-overwrite issue in gpsdrive 2.10~pre4. A local user may be able to abuse a predictable temporary file path used by unit_test.c to cause files to be overwritten. The business risk is mainly for legacy systems that still have this package installed and allow local user access. Exposure appears limited to legacy Linux or Unix-like systems with gpsdrive or gpsdrive-scripts 2.10~pre4 installed, especially where untrusted local users can run affected code. The provided data does not identify broader products, services, or remote attack surface. Treat this as a targeted legacy exposure cleanup item, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize systems with local multi-user access or privileged automation that might run the affected code. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for gpsdrive or gpsdrive-scripts 2.10~pre4.; Review Debian bug and vendor package guidance for fixed versions or removal advice.; Remove the package if it is unused or unsupported..
