CVE-2011-1548 Information

Description

The default configuration of logrotate on Debian GNU/Linux uses root privileges to process files in directories that permit non-root write access which allows local users to conduct symlink and hard link attacks by leveraging logrotate’s lack of support for untrusted directories as demonstrated by /var/log/postgresql/.
