Release Notes
Vendor-listed releases
A flaw was found in sblim-cmpi-base. Insecure temporary file creation in the provider registration scripts allows a local unprivileged user to perform a symlink attack.
By creating a symlink in a world-writable directory, an attacker can redirect privileged writes to an arbitrary file during script execution in a privileged context. This can lead to the overwrite of root-owned files, potentially disrupting system services or operation.
Exploitation is conditional on the script running with elevated privileges and may be mitigated by sticky-directory symlink protections.
