CVE-2005-2995
bacula 1.36.3 and earlier allows local users to modify or read sensitive files via symlink attacks on (1) the temporary file used by autoconf/randpass when openssl is not available, or (2) the mtx.[PID] temporary file in mtx-changer.in.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
