Id Description
11117 MIT Kerberos 5 send-pr.sh Symlink Arbitrary File Manipulation

MIT Kerberos contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with the permissions of the user running Kerberos, which is potentially root. The issue is due to the program creating world-writeagble symlinks with predictable filenames -- users may overwrite those links to point to any file on the filesystem. This may allow files to be overwritten with the contents of the newly created target, resulting in a loss of integrity.
