CVE-2005-2672 describes an insecure temporary file creation vulnerability in pwmconfig, a component of LM_sensors before version 2.9.1. This flaw allows a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system through a symlink attack targeting the fancontrol temporary file. With a CVSS score of 2.1 (low severity), the attack requires local access and has a low attack complexity, resulting in a potential impact of partial integrity compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this decade-old vulnerability.
