Dmitry E. Oboukhov reported that the IPSEC livetest tool does not
|
|
handle the ipseclive.conn and ipsec.olts.remote.log temporary files
|
|
securely.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to execute arbitrary
|
|
code and overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user
|
|
running the application.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>

There is no known workaround at this time.
