Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
6885 sysstat post Script Symlink Arbitrary File Overwrite

Sysstat contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to perform a symlink attack. The issue is due to the post script creating insecure temporary files. By creating a symbolic link for a file in /tmp to an arbitrary file on the system, a local attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the system, resulting in a loss of integrity.
6884 sysstat trigger Script Symlink Arbitrary File Overwrite

Sysstat contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to overwrite arbitrary files. The issue is triggered when malicious symbolic links in the /tmp directory are created. It is possible that the flaw may allow for a privilege escalation and the deletion of arbitrary files resulting in a loss of confidentiality and integrity.
