CVE-2007-0166 Information

Description

The jail rc.d script in FreeBSD 5.3 up to 6.2 does not verify pathnames when writing to /var/log/console.log during a jail start-up or when file systems are mounted or unmounted which allows local root users to overwrite arbitrary files or mount/unmount files outside of the jail via a symlink attack.
