Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) UNIX symbolic link following

EUVDB-ID: #VU51454

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 2.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28153

CWE-ID: CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue, when g_file_replace() is used with G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in privilege escalation.

Mitigation

Update the affected package glib2 to the latest version.
