MediumMetricsAV:L/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Xen versions 3.1 and earlier
Description:
The issue allows local users to truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/xenq-shm, which is related to xenbaked and xenmon.py.
Recommendations:
For Xen versions 3.1 and earlier, consider restricting access to the /tmp/xenq-shm file to prevent symlink attacks until a patch is available.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the xenmon.py script until a patch is available.
Avoid using xenbaked and xenmon.py in Xen versions 3.1 and earlier until the issue is resolved.
