    CVE-2012-3492

    Published: 28 Sept 2012Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: The filesystem authentication (condor_io/condor_auth_fs.cpp) in Condor 7.6.x before 7.6.10 and 7.8.x before 7.8.4 uses authentication directories even when they have weak permissions, which allows remote attackers to impersonate users by renaming a user's authentication directory.
