The populate_conns function in src/populate_conns.c in GSAMBAD 0.1.4 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the /tmp/gsambadtmp temporary file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
