Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2013-1958 (CCN-83789)

Assigned:2013-03-18
Published:2013-03-18
Updated:2023-02-13
Summary:Linux Kernel could allow a local attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to properly enforce capability requirements for controlling the PID value associated with a UNIX domain socket by the scm_check_creds function. By leveraging the time interval during which a user namespace has been created but a PID namespace has not been created, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass security restrictions.
