Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0470)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
CVSSv4: 8.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
super.c in Super 3.30.0 does not check the return value of the setuid function when the -F flag is set, which allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors, aka an RLIMIT_NPROC attack.
