Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
crypto-utils version 2.4.1-34
Description
The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the "list" file in the current working directory, specifically through the
nssconfigFound function in genkey.pl in crypto-utils.Recommendations
For crypto-utils version 2.4.1-34, consider restricting access to the
genkey.pl script until a patch is available, and avoid using the nssconfigFound function to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
