Revision Date: | 2016-10-16 | Version: | 1 | Title: | CVE-2016-7097 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty) - medium. | Description: | The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions. Andreas Gruenbacher and Jan Kara discovered that the filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel did not clear the setgid bit during a setxattr call. A local attacker could use this to possibly elevate group privileges.
