6.6 MEDIUM — AV:L/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C

Description

The jail rc.d script in FreeBSD 5.3 up to 6.2 does not verify pathnames when writing to /var/log/console.log during a jail start-up, or when file systems are mounted or unmounted, which allows local root users to overwrite arbitrary files, or mount/unmount files, outside of the jail via a symlink attack.

Affected configurations

• freebsd freebsd (<= 6.2) • freebsd freebsd 5.3
