Descriptions
ppc64-diag 2.6.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack related to (1) rtas_errd/diag_support.c and /tmp/get_dt_files, (2) scripts/ppc64_diag_mkrsrc and /tmp/diagSEsnap/snapH.tar.gz, or (3) lpd/test/lpd_ela_test.sh and /var/tmp/ras.
ppc64-diag 2.6.1 permite a usuarios locales sobrescribir archivos arbitrarios a través de un ataque de enlace simbólico relacionado con (1) rtas_errd/diag_support.c y /tmp/get_dt_files, (2) scripts/ppc64_diag_mkrsrc y /tmp/diagSEsnap/snapH.tar.gz o (3) lpd/test/lpd_ela_test.sh y /var/tmp/ras.
Multiple insecure temporary file use flaws were found in the way the ppc64-diag utility created certain temporary files. A local attacker could possibly use either of these flaws to perform a symbolic link attack and overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running ppc64-diag, or obtain sensitive information from the temporary files.
