Descriptions

If the attacker manages to create files in the directory used to collect log files in supportutils before version 3.1-5.7.1 (e.g. with CVE-2018-19638) he can kill arbitrary processes on the local machine.

Si el atacante logra crear archivos en el directorio utilizado para recolectar archivos de log en supportutils, en versiones anteriores a la 3.1-5.71, (p.ej., con CVE-2018-19638), éste puede finalizar procesos arbitrarios en la máquina local.
