CVE-2013-1429

Published: 7 November 2019

Lintian before 2.5.12 allows remote attackers to gather information about the "host" system using crafted symlinks.

Notes

AuthorNote
seth-arnold
Since packages can contain arbitrary owners of files, I don't
believe the symlink-restriction provides protection here

Priority
