VULHUB ™

It is possible for local attackers to create a denial of service by creating a file lock on files that the tip utility requires for normal operation. This issue may be exploited to prevent users from using tip to communicate with serial devices, connect with remote hosts, etc. The tip utility may be invoked by other applications. The process holding the file lock must be killed to resume normal operation.
