aegis 4.24 and aegis-web 4.24 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (a) /tmp/#####, (b) /tmp/#####.intro, (c) /tmp/aegis.#####.ae, (d) /tmp/aegis.#####, (e) /tmp/aegis.#####.1, (f) /tmp/aegis.#####.2, (g) /tmp/aegis.#####.log, and (h) /tmp/aegis.#####.out temporary files, related to the (1) bng_dvlpd.sh, (2) bng_rvwd.sh, (3) awt_dvlp.sh, (4) awt_intgrtn.sh, and (5) aegis.cgi scripts.
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
