Descriptions

The Net Direct client for Linux before 6.0.5 in Nortel Application Switch 2424, VPN 3050 and 3070, and SSL VPN Module 1000 extracts and executes files with insecure permissions, which allows local users to exploit a race condition to replace a world-writable file in /tmp/NetClient and cause another user to execute arbitrary code when attempting to execute this client, as demonstrated by replacing /tmp/NetClient/client.

El cliente Net Direct para Linux versiones anteriores a 6.0.5 de Nortel Application Switch 2424, VPN 3050 y 3070, y SSL VPN Module 1000 extrae y ejecuta ficheros con permisos inseguros, lo cual permite a usuarios locales explotar una condición de carrera para reemplazar un fichero re-escribible en /tmp/NetClient y causar que otro usuario ejecute código de su elección cuando intenta ejecutar ese cliente, como se demuestra reemplazando /tmp/NetClient/client.
