Descriptions

The /proc filesystem in Linux allows local users to obtain sensitive information by opening various entries in /proc/self before executing a setuid program, which causes the program to fail to change the ownership and permissions of those entries.

El sistema de ficheros /proc de Linux permite a usuarios locales obtener información sensible abriendo varias entradas en /proc/self antes de ejecutar algún programa con setuid, lo que hace que el programa no consiga cambiar al propietario y los permisos de ese fichero.
