Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions linux-patch-openswan version 2.4.12

Description The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files, related to the maysnap and maytest scripts. This can be achieved by exploiting the /tmp/snap##### and /tmp/nightly##### temporary files.

Recommendations For linux-patch-openswan version 2.4.12, consider restricting access to the maysnap and maytest scripts until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the scripts that create the /tmp/snap##### and /tmp/nightly##### temporary files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
