eTrust InoculateIT for Linux Insecure Default Installation

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA10833

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10833/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Exposure of system information, Exposure of
sensitive information, Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
eTrust InoculateIT 6.x for Linux

DESCRIPTION:
l0om has reported some vulnerabilities in eTrust InoculateIT for
Linux, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform
certain actions on a vulnerable system with other users' privileges.

The scripts "inoregupdate", "uniftest", and "unimove" reportedly
create temporary files insecurely. This can be exploited via symlink
attacks to overwrite, create, and delete arbitrary files with the
privileges of the user running a vulnerable script.

Some directories are reportedly also installed with insecure default
permissions.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 6.0.

SOLUTION:
Grant only trusted users access to an affected system.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
