NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream katello-client-bootstrap package and not the katello-client-bootstrap package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in katello-debug before 3.4.0 where certain scripts and log files used insecure temporary files. A local user could exploit this flaw to conduct a symbolic-link attack, allowing them to overwrite the contents of arbitrary files.
