CVE-2005-0387

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions remstats versions 1.0.13 and earlier

Description The issue affects the remstats package in Debian GNU/Linux, potentially leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Exploitation can be carried out remotely. Local users can create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files when processing uptime data.

Recommendations For remstats versions 1.0.13 and earlier, consider restricting access to the uptime data processing functionality until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, monitor temporary files for potential symlink attacks to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
