Linux · Fbi · CVE-2006-1695
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
fbi package version 2.01-1.4
Description:
The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files in /var/tmp/fbps-[PID] when the TMPDIR environment variable is not defined.
Recommendations:
For fbi package version 2.01-1.4, define the TMPDIR environment variable to prevent temporary files from being created in a predictable location, or consider restricting access to the /var/tmp directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
