Title
Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') in Winlogbeat Leading to Arbitrary File Write and Denial of Service
Summary
A local vulnerability in the Winlogbeat Windows installer caused runtime files to be placed in a directory writable by unprivileged users. A low-privileged attacker with existing access to the system could pre-position malicious filesystem links, causing a subsequent elevated Winlogbeat operation to write to or delete arbitrary files. Successful exploitation could result in a denial of service.
