CVE-2012-6607  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-22  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 augeas to version 1.0.0-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream augeas package and not the augeas package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The transform_save function in transform.c in Augeas before 1.0.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and obtain sensitive information via a symlink attack on a .augsave file in a backup save action, a different vector than CVE-2012-0786.
