CVE-2013-4214

Publication date 23 November 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

rss-newsfeed.php in Nagios Core 3.4.4, 3.5.1, and earlier, when MAGPIE_CACHE_ON is set to 1, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/magpie_cache.
