CVE-2022-3560: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in pesign. The pesign package provides a systemd service used to start the pesign daemon. This service unit runs a script to set ACLs for /etc/pki/pesign and /run/pesign directories to grant access privileges to users in the 'pesign' group. However, the script doesn't check for symbolic links. This could allow an attacker to gain access to privileged files and directories via a path traversal attack.

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 36 only; version 37 only
• Pesign Project Pesign: before 116 (fixed in 116)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 7.0 only; version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only
