Insight
cvsbug(1) is a utility for reporting problems in the CVS revision control system. It is based on the GNATS send-pr(1) utility.
A temporary file is created, used, deleted, and then re-created with the same name. This creates a window during which an attacker could replace the file with a link to another file.
While cvsbug(1) is based on the send-pr(1) utility, this problem does not exist in the version of send-pr(1) distributed with FreeBSD.
