Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
attr versions prior to 2.6.0
Description
A flaw in the
attr component, specifically within the getfattr and setfattr utilities, allows a local attacker to perform a symlink traversal attack. By replacing a pathname component with a symbolic link during directory hierarchy traversal, an attacker can redirect operations to arbitrary files. This leads to local privilege escalation when these utilities are executed by a privileged process over a path controlled by the attacker.Recommendations
Update to version 2.6.0 or later.
