An issue was discovered in open-vm-tools 2009.03.18-154848. Local users can
bypass intended access restrictions on mounting shares via a symlink attack
that leverages a realpath race condition in mount.vmhgfs (aka hgfsmounter).
Bugs
Notes
| Author | Note |
|---|---|
| mdeslaur | mount.vmhgfs not suid root in Debian and Ubuntu, negligible security impact. Upstream commit removes vmhgfs in favour of hgfs-fuse. Since this has no security impact on Ubuntu, and there is no upstream fix for the issue, we will not be fixing this in stable releases. |
