Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Tripwire 1.3.1/2.2.1/2.3.0 and classified as problematic. This issue affects some unknown functionality of the file /tmp of the component Temp File Handler. The manipulation 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. The summary by CVE is:

Tripwire 1.3.1, 2.2.1 and 2.3.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and possible gain privileges via a symbolic link attack on temporary files.

The bug was discovered 01/16/2001. The weakness was disclosed 07/09/2001 by Jarno Huuskonen as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared at kb.cert.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2001-0774. The exploitation is known to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details as well as a exploit are known.

After immediately, there has been an exploit disclosed. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 174 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.
