The GlusterFS functionality in Red Hat Storage Management Console 2.0, Native Client, and Server 2.0 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on multiple temporary files created by (1) tests/volume.rc, (2) extras/hook-scripts/S30samba-stop.sh, and possibly other vectors, different vulnerabilities than CVE-2012-4417.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-5635 is a local file overwrite issue in GlusterFS-related Red Hat Storage 2.0 components. A local user could abuse temporary-file handling through symlinks to overwrite files. Business urgency is mainly for legacy Red Hat Storage environments with local user access. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Red Hat Storage 2.0 deployments using the affected GlusterFS functionality. Risk is higher on shared administration hosts, multi-user systems, or environments where untrusted local users can access storage nodes. Treat this as a legacy-platform risk, not a broad internet emergency. If Red Hat Storage 2.0 is absent, priority is low. If present on multi-user or shared systems, remediate promptly because arbitrary file overwrite can support privilege escalation paths. Mitigation focus: Review and apply Red Hat advisory RHSA-2013:0691 where applicable.; Confirm whether Red Hat Storage 2.0 components remain in production.; Restrict local user access on affected storage hosts..
