NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream systemd-mini-coredump-mini package and not the systemd-mini-coredump-mini package as distributed by SLES.

systemd-tmpfiles in systemd through 237 mishandles symlinks present in non-terminal path components, which allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via vectors involving creation of a directory and a file under that directory, and later replacing that directory with a symlink. This occurs even if the fs.protected_symlinks sysctl is turned on.
