Descriptions
The generic_file_splice_write function in fs/splice.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.19 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by splicing into an inode in order to create an executable file in a setgid directory, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-4210.
La función generic_file_splice_write de fs/splice.c en Linux kernel versiones anteriores a v2.6.19 no lanza correctamente bits setuid y setgid cuando hay una escritura a un fichero, lo cual permite a usuarios locales conseguir privilegios de un grupo diferente, y obtener información sensible o posiblemente tener otros impactos desconocidos, por la unión en un inodo con el fin de crear un archivo ejecutable en un directorio setgid, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2008-4210.
