CVE-2018-6954 is fixed in 14 products on 1 platform, first by libnss-myhostname 237-3ubuntu10.9, released February 12, 2018. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
systemd-tmpfiles in systemd through 237 mishandles symlinks present in non-terminal path components, which allows local users to obtain ownership of arbitrary files via vectors involving creation of a directory and a file under that directory, and later replacing that directory with a symlink. This occurs even if the fs.protected_symlinks sysctl is turned on.
