Title: AIX eNetwork Firewall Insecure Temporary File Creation Vulnerabilities

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

IBM's eNetwork Firewall for AIX contains a number of vulnerability in scripts which manipulate files insecurely. When fwlsuser script is run it creates a temporary file called /tmp/fwlsuser.PID ( where PID is the process ID of the command being run ). If this file is created previously and is a link to any other file the output generated by the fwlsuser script will overwrite this linked file.

Affected Products:

  • IBM AIX eNetwork Firewall 3.2.0
  • IBM AIX eNetwork Firewall 3.3.0
