Description |
DHIS Tools contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local user to overwrite arbitrary files on the system. The issue is due to the script 'register-p.sh' creating temporary files insecurely. It is possible for a user to use a symlink style attack to manipulate arbitrary files, resulting in a loss of integrity.
