NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icinga2 package and not the icinga2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

etc/initsystem/prepare-dirs in Icinga 2.x through 2.8.1 has a chown call for a filename in a user-writable directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to the $ICINGA2_USER account for creation of a link.
