LIN6-14727 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2018-13405

Created: Jul 15, 2018    Updated: Mar 19, 2019
Resolved Date: Nov 18, 2018
Found In Version: 6.0.0.37
Fix Version: 6.0.0.38
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Kernel

Description

The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.4 allows local users to create files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group.
