Description Jan Lieskovsky 2009-09-17 05:46:26 EDT

Colin Watson reported an unsafe temporary file use, present in
scsi-initiator-utils's iscsi_discovery shell script. A local
attacker could use this flaw to perform symlink attack against
user running this script, which will result in overwrite of
arbitrary file writable by this script.

Comment 2 Jan Lieskovsky 2009-09-17 05:54:20 EDT

This issue does NOT affect the versions of the iscsi-initiator-utils 
package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

This issue affects the version of the iscsi-initiator-utils package,
as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

---------

This issue affects the latest versions of the iscsi-initiator-utils package,
as shipped with Fedora releases of 10 and 11 
(iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.870-1.0.fc10 and iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.870-8.fc11.1).

Please schedule the Fedora updates.

Comment 5 Tomas Hoger 2009-09-29 11:16:05 EDT

To correct comment #2:

Affected script is part of the iscsi-initialtor-utils source RPMs in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and current Fedora versions, however, that script is not shipped in the binary package.  Hence Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Fedora 10 and 11 are unaffected too.
