There are two vulnerabilities in the way sysstat handles symlinks:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The isag utility, which displays sysstat data in a graphical format,
|
|
creates a temporary file in an insecure manner.</li>
|
|
<li>Two scripts in the sysstat package, post and trigger, create temporary
|
|
files in an insecure manner.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Both vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files
|
|
under the permissions of the user executing any of the affected
|
|
utilities.
