Security bypass vulnerability in kernel due to improper xattr value

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:24755Date: (C)2015-06-08   (M)2023-02-20
Class: VULNERABILITYFamily: unix




The host is installed with kernel on RHEL 6 or 7 and is prone to a security bypass vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle race condition which leaves the extended attribute(xattr) empty for a short time window. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to bypass set ACLs and potentially escalate user privileges.
