Summary

The vulnerability in Sabre (version 0.2.4b) allows local users to disrupt the application's functionality by exploiting the system's handling of the /tmp/sabre.log file. When a user creates a specific /tmp/sabre.log file, it prevents the application from overwriting it, leading to a denial of service condition where the application becomes unavailable to other users. This issue arises due to insufficient checks and improper file management within the application, posing a risk for environments where multiple users have access.
