CVE-2006-5677
resmom/start_exec.c in pbs_mom in TORQUE Resource Manager 2.0.0p8 and earlier allows local users to create arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) a job output file in /usr/spool/PBS/spool and possibly (2) a job file in /usr/spool/PBS/mom_priv/jobs.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.34%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
