"According to the versions of the python-filelock package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is
affected by the following vulnerabilities :
filelock is a platform-independent file lock for Python. In versions prior to 3.20.1, a Time-of-Check-
Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition allows local attackers to corrupt or truncate arbitrary user files
through symlink attacks. The vulnerability exists in both Unix and Windows lock file creation where
filelock checks if a file exists before opening it with O_TRUNC. An attacker can create a symlink pointing
to a victim file in the time gap between the check and open, causing os.open() to follow the symlink and
truncate the target file. All users of filelock on Unix, Linux, macOS, and Windows systems are impacted.
The vulnerability cascades to dependent libraries. The attack requires local filesystem access and ability
to create symlinks (standard user permissions on Unix; Developer Mode on Windows 10+). Exploitation
succeeds within 1-3 attempts when lock file paths are predictable. The issue is fixed in version 3.20.1.
If immediate upgrade is not possible, use SoftFileLock instead of UnixFileLock/WindowsFileLock (note:
different locking semantics, may not be suitable for all use cases); ensure lock file directories have
restrictive permissions (chmod 0700) to prevent untrusted users from creating symlinks; and/or monitor
lock file directories for suspicious symlinks before running trusted applications. These workarounds
provide only partial mitigation. The race condition remains exploitable. Upgrading to version 3.20.1 is
strongly recommended.(CVE-2025-68146)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS python-filelock security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
