Descriptions

The Red Hat module-setup.sh script for kexec-tools, as distributed in the kexec-tools before 2.0.7-19 packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a temporary file.

La secuencia de comandos de module-setup.sh de Red Hat para kexec-tools, distribuido en los paquetes kexec-tools anterior a 2.0.7-19 en Red Hat Enterprise Linux, permite a usuarios locales escribir en ficheros arbitrarios a través de un ataque de enlace simbólico sobre un fichero temporal.

It was found that the module-setup.sh script provided by kexec-tools created temporary files in an insecure way. A malicious, local user could use this flaw to conduct a symbolic link attack, allowing them to overwrite the contents of arbitrary files.
