CVE-2018-19044 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable keepalived to version 1:2.0.10-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream keepalived package and not the keepalived package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
keepalived 2.0.8 didn't check for pathnames with symlinks when writing data to a temporary file upon a call to PrintData or PrintStats. This allowed local users to overwrite arbitrary files if fs.protected_symlinks is set to 0, as demonstrated by a symlink from /tmp/keepalived.data or /tmp/keepalived.stats to /etc/passwd.
