Vulnerability CVE-2011-1548


Published: 2011-03-30   Modified: 2012-02-13

Description:
The default configuration of logrotate on Debian GNU/Linux uses root privileges to process files in directories that permit non-root write access, which allows local users to conduct symlink and hard link attacks by leveraging logrotate's lack of support for untrusted directories, as demonstrated by /var/log/postgresql/.

Type:

CWE-264

(Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls)
