When logs are written to a widely-writable directory (the default), an unprivileged attacker may predict a privileged process’s log file path and pre-create a symbolic link to a sensitive file in its place. When that privileged process runs, it will follow the planted symlink and overwrite that sensitive file. To fix that, glog now causes the program to exit (with status code 2) when it finds that the configured log file already exists.

The following Go packages have been rebuilt in order to fix this issue:



For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 0.0~git20160126.23def4e-3+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your golang-glog packages.
