Descriptions

lightdm before 0.9.6 writes in .dmrc and Xauthority files using root permissions while the files are in user controlled folders. A local user can overwrite root-owned files via a symlink, which can allow possible privilege escalation.

lightdm versiones anteriores a 0.9.6 escribe en archivos .dmrc y Xauthority usando permisos de root mientras los archivos están en carpetas controladas por parte del usuario. Un usuario local puede sobrescribir los archivos de propiedad root por medio de un enlace simbólico, lo que puede permitir una posible escalada de privilegios.
