LSAT: insecure temporary file creation
| Package(s): | lsat | CVE #(s): | |||||
| Created: | March 19, 2007 | Updated: | March 21, 2007 | ||||
| Description: | LSAT insecurely writes in /tmp with a predictable filename. A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When the LSAT script is executed, this would result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the software, which could be the root user. | ||||||
