]| Parameter | Position | Path | Description | CWE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -l | path | /etc/bash/bashrc | Local privilege escalation: race condition in the beep program allows writing four bytes into a targeted file by abusing the -l parameter and a crafted symlink to the console device. | CWE-362 |
| -l | path | /etc/profile | Same privilege-escalation vector as /etc/bash/bashrc, targeting a shell initialization script via the -l value written through the console write path. | CWE-362 |
| -l | path | /dev/input/event0 | Attack vector via symlink to the evdev device used by beep; the -l value can be written into the targeted file through the write path, enabling exploitation. | CWE-362 |
| -l | path | /dev/tty0 | Console device path used by beep to determine where to write; can be part of the attack surface when crafting the symlink to trigger arbitrary writes. | CWE-362 |
