What is CVE-2020-17534?

A race condition vulnerability exists in the webkit subproject of the HTML/Java API within Apache NetBeans. This occurs due to improper handling between the deletion of a temporary file and the creation of a temporary directory, potentially allowing local privilege escalation. The risk can be mitigated by updating to HTML/Java API version 1.7.1, which addresses this issue by ensuring that the creation of the temporary directory is handled atomically, separating it from the temporary file process.
