CVE-2008-4190
Estado: ModificadaMedia (4.4)—
The IPSEC livetest tool in Openswan 2.4.12 and earlier, and 2.6.x through 2.6.16, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack on the (1) ipseclive.conn and (2) ipsec.olts.remote.log temporary files. NOTE: in many distributions and the upstream version, this tool has been disabled.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Puntuación base: 4.4
