Symlink attack in Puppet on a temporary file in /tmp (Mac OS)ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:6023 | Date: (C)2012-06-08 (M)2021-09-11 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: macos |
The host is installed with Puppet 2.6.x before 2.6.15 or 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and is prone to symlink attack. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to handle insecure creation of temporary files. Successful exploitation allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files or install arbitrary packages.
