Discussion

Logcheck Insecure Temporary Directory Vulnerability

Logcheck performs operations on temporary directories in the /var/tmp directory in an insecure manner.

This issue may only be exploited when the program removes said directories. The issue could be exploited by a local attacker to corrupt root owned files. This will most likely result in destruction of data and denial of service.
