Descriptions

Armoury Crate Service’s logging function has insufficient validation to check if the log file is a symbolic link. A physical attacker with general user privilege can modify the log file property to a symbolic link that points to arbitrary system file, causing the logging function to overwrite the system file and disrupt the system.

La función logging de Armoury Crate Service presenta una comprobación insuficiente para comprobar si el archivo de registro es un enlace simbólico. Un atacante físico con privilegio de usuario general puede modificar la propiedad del archivo de registro a un enlace simbólico que apunte a un archivo de sistema arbitrario, causando que la función de registro sobrescriba el archivo de sistema y perturbe el sistema
