Mgetty Security Vulnerabilities

CVE-2000-0691

The faxrunq and faxrunqd in the mgetty package allows local users to create or modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack which creates a symlink in from /var/spool/fax/outgoing/.last_run to the target file.

mgetty 1.1.22 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack in some configurations.

CVE-2002-1392

faxspool in mgetty before 1.1.29 uses a world-writable spool directory for outgoing faxes, which allows local users to modify fax transmission privileges.
