2) Security restrictions bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU13631
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-13405
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to create arbitrary files on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the inode_init_owner function, as defined in the fs/inode.c source code file, allows the creation of arbitrary files in set-group identification (SGID) directories. A local attacker can create arbitrary files with unintended group ownership.

3) Type Confusion
EUVDB-ID: #VU21092
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9568
CWE-ID:
CWE-843 - Type confusion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error in the sk_clone_lock() function in sock.c. A local user can run a specially crafted application to trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
