NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream radvd package and not the radvd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Directory traversal vulnerability in device-linux.c in the router advertisement daemon (radvd) before 1.8.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files, and remote attackers to overwrite certain files, via a .. (dot dot) in an interface name. NOTE: this can be leveraged with a symlink to overwrite arbitrary files.
