Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD (Operating System) (version unknown) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown function of the file make. The manipulation of the argument -j with an unknown input leads to a symlink vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-61. The product, when opening a file or directory, does not sufficiently account for when the file is a symbolic link that resolves to a target outside of the intended control sphere. This could allow an attacker to cause the product to operate on unauthorized files. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The BSD make program allows local users to modify files via a symlink attack when the -j option is being used.
