GHSA-47wv-vhj2-g66m
Use of insecure temporary file in Horovod
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The insecure `tempfile.mktemp()` is used when Horovod is run in an LSF job with `jsrun`. In that situation, a jsrun rank file is created with `mktemp`, which could be hijacked by another process to read or manipulate the content.
This issue does not impact the use of MPI, Gloo, Spark or Ray.
### Patches
The problem has been fixed in [b96ecae4](https://github.com/horovod/horovod/commit/b96ecae4dc69fc0a83c7c2d3f1dde600c20a1b41).
### Workarounds
The rank file is not created when `binding_args` are provided in the `Settings` instance.
