Title: HP JFS Improper Sticky Bit Functionality Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
A vulnerability has been discovered in HP JFS.
The sticky bit is an optional file property, which when set, prevents moving and/or renaming a file that is not explicitly owned by the user. This prevents users from modifying world/group writeable files.
It has been reported that JFS implements improper sticky bit functionality, which may allow a malicious user to modify properties of sensitive files, which they would not normally be authorized to access.
HP has released a revised advisory stating that this issue affects the JournalFS.VXFS-BASE-KRN fileset and not just OnlineJFS.
Affected Products:
- HP JFS 3.1.0
