Descriptions
systemd-tmpfiles in systemd through 237 mishandles symlinks present in non-terminal path components, which allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via vectors involving creation of a directory and a file under that directory, and later replacing that directory with a symlink. This occurs even if the fs.protected_symlinks sysctl is turned on.
systemd-tmpfiles en systemd, hasta 237, gestiona de manera incorrecta los vínculos simbólicos presentes en componentes de ruta no terminales. Esto permite que usuarios locales se hagan dueños de archivos arbitrarios mediante vectores relacionados con la creación de un directorio y un archivo bajo ese directorio para, posteriormente, reemplazarlo por un vínculo simbólico. Esto ocurre incluso aunque el sysctl fs.protected_symlinks esté activado.
