NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openstack-packstack package and not the openstack-packstack package as distributed by RHEL.

A flaw was found in PackStack. A local user could exploit a symlink attack on a temporary file with a predictable name in the /tmp directory. This vulnerability allows the local user to overwrite arbitrary files on the system, potentially leading to system compromise or data corruption.
