CVE-2011-3151: SELinux initscript misuse of touch
First published: Wed Dec 21 2011(Updated: )
The Ubuntu SELinux initscript before version 1:0.10 used touch to create a lockfile in a world-writable directory. If the OS kernel does not have symlink protections then an attacker can cause a zero byte file to be allocated on any writable filesystem.
