Symlink Attack

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack due to insecure handling of Process ID PID files. When an application uses the ApplicationPidFileWriter, it writes its PID to a predictable file system path. A local attacker with write access to the PID file's directory...

CVE-2025-61909 Icinga 2 signals sent as root to processes based on PID file written by the Icinga 2 daemon user

Icinga 2 is an open source monitoring system. From 2.10.0 to before 2.15.1, 2.14.7, and 2.13.13, the safe-reload script also used during systemctl reload icinga2 and logrotate configuration shipped with Icinga 2 read the PID of the main Icinga 2 process from a PID file writable by the daemon user...
