Red Hat Cluster Project 2.x allows local users to modify or overwrite arbitrary files via symlink attacks on files in /tmp, involving unspecified components in Resource Group Manager (aka rgmanager) before 2.03.09-1, gfs2-utils before 2.03.09-1, and CMAN - The Cluster Manager before 2.03.09-1 on Fedora 9.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old local file overwrite issue in Red Hat Cluster Project 2.x components on Fedora 9. A user with local access could abuse temporary-file handling in /tmp to modify or overwrite files through symlinks. The main business concern is legacy clustered Linux systems where local users or compromised low-privilege accounts exist. Exposure is most likely on legacy Fedora 9 or Red Hat Cluster Project 2.x systems with rgmanager, gfs2-utils, or CMAN versions earlier than 2.03.09-1. Internet exposure is not indicated; this requires local user access according to the CVE description. Treat as a targeted legacy-system risk. It is not currently supported by evidence of active exploitation, but it can matter on shared or poorly isolated cluster hosts because local file overwrite bugs may support privilege escalation. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for rgmanager, gfs2-utils, and CMAN packages.; Update affected packages to 2.03.09-1 or vendor-fixed advisory versions.; Check Red Hat and Fedora advisories for distribution-specific fixed packages..
