CVE-2008-4476

Publication date 7 October 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

sympa.pl in sympa 5.3.4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/sympa_aliases.$$ temporary file. NOTE: wwsympa.fcgi was also reported, but the issue occurred in a dead function, so it is not a vulnerability.
