CVE-2013-2142
userpref.c in libimobiledevice 1.1.4, when $HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME are not set, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) HostCertificate.pem, (2) HostPrivateKey.pem, (3) libimobiledevicerc, (4) RootCertificate.pem,…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
