Description

KAME contains a flaw related to the default directory that many of its daemons write dump files and trace files to, which may allow an attacker to access sensitive system information, or possibly to modify that data. The bgpd, hroute6d, pim6dd, pim6sd, route6d, and rtsold daemons used the world-writeable /var/tmp directory for dump and trace files. No further details have been provided.
