CVE-2026-53759
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
linuxfabrik-lib provides Python modules for database access, caching, shell execution, and API integrations. Prior to version 4.2.0, db_sqlite.py created SQLite databases at predictable paths in the shared /tmp directory and followed attacker-created symbolic links at those paths. An attacker who controls a local monitoring account can create a symlink such as /tmp/linuxfabrik-monitoring-plugins-docker-stats.db and then trigger a sudo-authorized plugin, causing the root process to create or modify the symlink target. The primitive can overwrite arbitrary paths, cause denial of service, or manipulate an existing SQLite database through a crafted rollback journal or write-ahead log. The Monitoring Plugins integration also moved plugin caches through lib.db_sqlite.get_db_path() so they use the secured per-user directory. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.0.

"value": "linuxfabrik-lib proporciona módulos Python para acceso a bases de datos, almacenamiento en caché, ejecución de shell e integraciones de API. Antes de la versión 4.2.0, db_sqlite.py creaba bases de datos SQLite en rutas predecibles en el directorio compartido /tmp y seguía enlaces simbólicos creados por atacantes en esas rutas. Un atacante que controla una cuenta de monitoreo local puede crear un enlace simbólico como /tmp/linuxfabrik-monitoring-plugins-docker-stats.db y luego activar un plugin autorizado por sudo, haciendo que el proceso root cree o modifique el objetivo del enlace simbólico. La primitiva puede sobrescribir rutas arbitrarias, causar denegación de servicio o manipular una base de datos SQLite existente a través de un diario de reversión o un registro de escritura anticipada manipulado. La integración de Monitoring Plugins también movió las cachés de los plugins a través de lib.db_sqlite.get_db_path() para que usen el directorio seguro por usuario. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 4.2.0."
