How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 govulncheck-vulndb to version 0.0.20250128T150132-150000.1.29.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream govulncheck-vulndb package and not the govulncheck-vulndb package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

When logs are written to a widely-writable directory (the default), an unprivileged attacker may predict a privileged process's log file path and pre-create a symbolic link to a sensitive file in its place. When that privileged process runs, it will follow the planted symlink and overwrite that sensitive file. To fix that, glog now causes the program to exit (with status code 2) when it finds that the configured log file already exists.
