automake: symbolic link attack
| Package(s): | automake |
CVE #(s): | |
| Created: | April 8, 2004 |
Updated: | April 14, 2004 |
| Description: |
Automake may be vulnerable to a symbolic link attack which may allow an
attacker to modify data or escalate their privileges. This is due to
the insecure way Automake creates directories during compilation. An
attacker may be able to create symbolic links in the place of files
contained in the affected directories, which may potentially lead to
elevated privileges due to modification of data. |
