Title: ekg and Gadu library vulnerabilities
Summary: ekg and Gadu library vulnerabilities
Marcin Owsiany and Wojtek Kaniewski discovered that some contributed
scripts (contrib/ekgh, contrib/ekgnv.sh, and contrib/getekg.sh) in the
ekg package created temporary files in an insecure way, which allowed
exploitation of a race condition to create or overwrite files with the
privileges of the user invoking the script. (CAN-2005-1850)
Marcin Owsiany and Wojtek Kaniewski discovered a shell command
injection vulnerability in a contributed utility
(contrib/scripts/ekgbot-pre1.py). By sending specially crafted content
to the bot, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running ekgbot. (CAN-2005-1851)

CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
Background: Soft links are a UNIX term that is synonymous with simple shortcuts on Windows-based platforms.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Note: REALIZATION: This weakness is caused during implementation of an architectural security tactic.
Common Consequences:
Scope: Confidentiality, Integrity, Access Control. Impact: Read Files or Directories, Modify Files or Directories, Bypass Protection Mechanism. An attacker may be able to traverse the file system to unintended locations and read or overwrite the contents of unexpe

CWE-61 UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following
CWE-61: UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following
The product, when opening a file or directory, does not sufficiently account for when the file is a symbolic link that resolves to a target outside of the intended control sphere. This could allow an attacker to cause the product to operate on unauthorized files.
A product that allows UNIX symbolic links (symlink) as part of paths whether in internal code or through user input can allow an attacker to spoof the symbolic link and traverse the file system to unintended locations or access arbitrary files. The symbolic link can permit an attacker to read/write/corrupt a file that they originally did not have permissions to access.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Note: These are typically reported for temporary files or privileged
