CVE-1999-1403

Summary

CVE-1999-1403 is a vulnerability affecting the IBM/Tivoli OPC Tracker Agent version 2 release 1. This issue arises due to the creation of files, directories, and IPC message queues with insecure permissions. These permissions are set to be world-readable and world-writable, making it possible for local users to disrupt operations and potentially gain privileges by modifying or deleting files. This vulnerability could lead to significant consequences, including system instability and potential privilege escalation. It is recommended that affected systems be updated to a version of the agent that does not exhibit this behavior.
