CVE-2013-0265
The redirect_stderr function in xnbd_common.c in xnbd-server and xndb-wrapper in xNBD 0.1.0 allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /tmp/xnbd.log.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
