Title: Remstats Local Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Remstats is a suite of applications designed for network data gathering and presentation. It is freely available for UNIX and Linux platforms.
A local insecure file creation vulnerability affects Remstats. This issue is due to a design error that causes a file to be insecurely opened or created and subsequently written to.
The details surrounding this issue are currently unknown. It is likely however that this issue is due to the insecure creation of a file in a globally accessible directory such as '/tmp'. Files written to globally accessible directories insecurely will facilitate symbolic links attacks. This BID will be updated with the release of more information.
An attacker may leverage this issue to corrupt arbitrary files with the privileges of an unsuspecting user that activates the affected application.
