Vulnerability
netwatch
Affected
Systems running netwatch
Description
George Sakhnovsky found following. netwatch 0.7e (latest version
on sunsite at moment of writing) creates a temp logfile,
/tmp/.watchlog.000, each time it's ran. It has no problem
following symlinks, so you can overwrite any file on the system.
Just do ln, and wait for the admin to run it.
Solution
Wait for newer version that wil hopefully fix this.
