Assigned:2007-12-03
Published:2008-01-12
Updated:2023-02-13
Summary:VFS in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.16, and 2.6.23.x before 2.6.23.14, performs tests of access mode by using the flag variable instead of the acc_mode variable, which might allow local users to bypass intended permissions and remove directories.
