CVE-2017-8921 -- flightgearID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:1900399 | Date: (C)2019-02-28 (M)2023-12-20 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
In FlightGear before 2017.2.1, the FGCommand interface allows overwriting any file the user has write access to, but not with arbitrary data: only with the contents of a FlightGear flightplan . A resource such as a malicious third-party aircraft could exploit this to damage files belonging to the user. Both this issue and CVE-2016-9956 are directory traversal vulnerabilities in Autopilot/route_mgr.cxx - this one exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9956.
