      "value": "The mktemp utility in uutils coreutils fails to properly handle an empty TMPDIR environment variable. Unlike GNU mktemp, which falls back to /tmp when TMPDIR is an empty string, the uutils implementation treats the empty string as a valid path. This causes temporary files to be created in the current working directory (CWD) instead of the intended secure temporary directory. If the CWD is more permissive or accessible to other users than /tmp, it may lead to unintended information disclosure or unauthorized access to temporary data."
    },
    {
      "lang": "es",
      "value": "La utilidad mktemp en uutils coreutils no maneja correctamente una variable de entorno TMPDIR vacía. A diferencia de GNU mktemp, que recurre a /tmp cuando TMPDIR es una cadena vacía, la implementación de uutils trata la cadena vacía como una ruta válida. Esto provoca que los archivos temporales se creen en el directorio de trabajo actual (CWD) en lugar del directorio temporal seguro previsto. Si el CWD es más permisivo o accesible para otros usuarios que /tmp, puede conducir a una revelación de información no intencionada o a un acceso no autorizado a datos temporales."
