CVE-2011-1072

Publication date 2 March 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The installer in PEAR before 1.9.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the package.xml file, related to the (1) download_dir, (2) cache_dir, (3) tmp_dir, and (4) pear-build-download directories, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-2519.
