HIGH8.1EPSS 5.2%storebackup - security update
Published: 1/21/2020Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
storeBackup.pl in storeBackup through 3.5 relies on the /tmp/storeBackup.lock pathname, which allows symlink attacks that possibly lead to privilege escalation. (Local users can also create a plain file named /tmp/storeBackup.lock to block use of storeBackup until an admin manually deletes that file.)
Affected packages (2)
- Debian/storebackupfrom 0, < 3.2.1-2
- Debian/storebackupfrom 0, < 3.2.1-1+deb8u1
