Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions aegis version 4.24 aegis-web version 4.24

Description The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on various temporary files, including /tmp/#####, /tmp/#####.intro, /tmp/aegis.#####.ae, /tmp/aegis.#####, /tmp/aegis.#####.1, /tmp/aegis.#####.2, /tmp/aegis.#####.log, and /tmp/aegis.#####.out. This is related to the bng dvlpd.sh, bng rvwd.sh, awt dvlp.sh, awt intgrtn.sh, and aegis.cgi scripts.
