CVE ID: | CVE-2017-5551 |
Description: | The simple_set_acl function in fs/posix_acl.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.6 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call involving a tmpfs filesystem, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-7097. |
Test IDs: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703791 |
