According to http://secunia.com/advisories/16040:
Eric Romang has reported a vulnerability in xpvm, which can be exploited by
malicious, local users to perform certain actions on a vulnerable system with
escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to the temporary file "/tmp/xpvm.trace.$user"
being created insecurely by "src/xpvm.tcl". This can be exploited via symlink
attacks to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user
running the affected application.
This is CAN-2005-2240.
