CWE-59

Description

A symlink following vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport. Event scripts write output files using shell redirections without the O_NOFOLLOW flag. If the target file is replaced with a symlink, the shell process running as root follows the symlink and writes content to the symlink target, allowing arbitrary file overwrites on the system.

Affected configurations

• redhat automatic bug reporting tool • fedoraproject fedora 43 • fedoraproject fedora 44 • redhat enterprise linux 7.0 • redhat enterprise linux 8.0
