libs/updater.py in GoLismero 0.6.3, and other versions before Git revision 2b3bb43d6867, as used in backtrack and possibly other products, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on GoLismero-controlled files, as demonstrated using Admin/changes.dat.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-0054 is a local file-overwrite flaw in GoLismero's updater. A local user could abuse symlinks around GoLismero-controlled files to overwrite other files. Business urgency depends on whether old GoLismero packages remain on shared systems or are run with elevated privileges. Exposure is most likely on legacy BackTrack or other security-tool systems that bundled GoLismero before the fixed revision. Risk is higher on multi-user hosts or where GoLismero updater activity runs with elevated permissions. The source bundle does not confirm modern package exposure. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless affected shared systems are still in use. Prioritize remediation where old security-tool hosts are multi-user, privileged, or part of operational workflows. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove unsupported GoLismero installations where no longer needed.; Upgrade GoLismero to revision 2b3bb43d6867 or later where available.; Check BackTrack or bundled tool guidance for package-specific fixes..
