Descriptions

setpwnam.c in the util-linux package, as included in Red Hat Linux 7.3 and earlier, and other operating systems, does not properly lock a temporary file when modifying /etc/passwd, which may allow local users to gain privileges via a complex race condition that uses an open file descriptor in utility programs such as chfn and chsh.

setpwnam.c en el paquete util-linux, como se incluye en Red Hat Linux 7.3 y antieriores, y en otros sistemas operativos, no bloquea adecuadamente un fichero temporal cuando se modifica /etc/passwd, lo que puede permitir a usuarios locales ganar privilegios mediante una compleja condiciĆ³n de carrera que usa un descriptor de fichero abierto en utilidades como chfn y chsh.
