Descriptions
The changelog command in Apt before 1.0.9.2 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the changelog file.
El comando 'changelog' en Apt anterior a 1.0.9.2 permite a usuarios locales escribir ficheros arbitrarios a través de un ataque de enlaces simbólicos en el fichero 'changelog'.
Guillem Jover discovered that APT incorrectly created a temporary file when handling the changelog command. A local attacker could use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files. In the default installation of Ubuntu, this should be prevented by the kernel link restrictions.
