CVE: CVE-2016-10369
CWE: CWE-284
Vulnerability description: unixsocket.c in lxterminal through 0.3.0 insecurely uses /tmp for a socket file, allowing a local user to cause a denial of service (preventing terminal launch), or possibly have other impact (bypassing terminal access control).

Project: lxde

gboolean lxterminal_socket_initialize(LXTermWindow * lxtermwin, gint argc, gchar * * argv)
{
    /* Normally, LXTerminal uses one process to control all of its windows.
     * The first process to start will create a Unix domain socket in /tmp.
     * It will then bind and listen on this socket.
     * The subsequent processes will connect to the controller that owns the Unix domain socket.
     * They will pass their command line over the socket and exit.
     *
     * If for any reason both the connect and bind fail, we will fall back to having that
     * process be standalone; it will not be either the controller or a user of the controller.
     * This behavior was introduced in response to a problem report (2973537).
     *
      * This function returns TRUE if this process should keep running and FALSE if it should exit. */
