CVE-2019-18932: Opensuse Backports Sle

High severity, CVSS 7.0. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

log.c in Squid Analysis Report Generator (sarg) through 2.3.11 allows local privilege escalation. By default, it uses a fixed temporary directory /tmp/sarg. As the root user, sarg creates this directory or reuses an existing one in an insecure manner. An attacker can pre-create the directory, and place symlinks in it (after winning a /tmp/sarg/denied.int_unsort race condition). The outcome will be corrupted or newly created files in privileged file system locations.

Affected products

• Opensuse Backports Sle: version 15.0 only
• Opensuse Leap: version 15.1 only
• Squid Analysis Report Generator Project Squid Analysis Report Generator: up to and including 2.3.11
