CVE-2008-4579

Publication date 15 October 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The (1) fence_apc and (2) fence_apc_snmp programs, as used in (a) fence 2.02.00-r1 and possibly (b) cman, when running in verbose mode, allows local users to append to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the apclog temporary file.
