LIN1018-8456 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2021-4037

Created: Dec 2, 2021    Updated: Nov 2, 2023
Resolved Date: Nov 2, 2023
Found In Version: 10.18.44.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 18
Component/s: Kernel

Description

A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with group execution and SGID permission bits set, in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive permissions granted in case when they should not. This vulnerability is similar to the previous CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS.
