Low

Base vector

AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions pimd versions 2.1.5 and earlier

Description The issue allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on certain files when specific signals are sent. This can occur with pimd.dump when a USR1 signal is sent, or with pimd.cache when a USR2 signal is sent.

Recommendations For versions 2.1.5 and earlier, consider restricting access to the USR1 and USR2 signals to prevent exploitation. Additionally, as a temporary workaround, consider implementing file system permissions to limit the ability to overwrite arbitrary files.
