NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sblim-cmpi-base-test package and not the sblim-cmpi-base-test package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in sblim-cmpi-base. Insecure temporary file creation in the provider registration scripts allows a local unprivileged user to perform a symlink attack. By creating a symlink in a world-writable directory, an attacker can redirect privileged writes to an arbitrary file during script execution in a privileged context. This can lead to the overwrite of root-owned files, potentially disrupting system services or operation. Exploitation is conditional on the script running with elevated privileges and may be mitigated by sticky-directory symlink protections.
