SimpleCDR-X - Insecure tempfile handling

Vendor Notified: Days ago, no answer.
Version: 1.3.3 latest


[- Description -]

Files beeing recorded can be read by any user on the system due to 
insecure tempfile handling. By default all tempfiles are copied, 
packed and stored in the hidden directory /tmp/.temp while beeing 
recorded with incorrect set permissions. Not very nice if you 
backup your /etc or any other sensitive files.

Example.
jonas at divinity:/tmp$ ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-09-15 18:41 .temp

jonas at divinity:/tmp$ cd .temp/
jonas at divinity:/tmp/.temp$ ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-09-15 18:41 .
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 2005-09-15 18:41 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205615104 2005-09-15 18:41
