mrtg: MRTG daemon symlink-following chown allows local privilege escalation via PID file path manipulation

A flaw was found in MRTG. When the MRTG daemon is started as a root user and subsequently drops privileges, a local, low-privileged attacker can exploit a symbolic link symlink following vulnerability. By influencing or pre-placing a symlink in the process ID PID file path, the attacker can trick...
