Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in SuSE Linux 8.2 (Operating System). It has been classified as problematic. This affects some unknown processing of the file susewm.$$ of the component Temp File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a symlink vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

SuSEconfig.susewm in the susewm package on SuSE Linux 8.2Pro allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the susewm.$$ temporary file.
