A vulnerability in the uninstaller component of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Mac OS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to corrupt the content of any file in the filesystem. The vulnerability is due to the incorrect handling of directory paths. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link (symlink) to a target file on a specific path. I was trying to get the web-deploy working for Mac OS, to update my AnyConnect 3.1 client to 4.8 (also in anticipation of Catalina update coming out in a few weeks). Each time, the download would complete, but the installation would fail.
