Descriptions

Paste Script 1.7.5 and earlier does not properly set group memberships during execution with root privileges, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended file-access restrictions by leveraging a web application that uses the local filesystem.

Paste Script v1.7.5 y versiones anteriores no ajustan correctamente los miembros del grupo durante la ejecución con privilegios de root, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos evitar restricciones de acceso a archivos mediante el aprovechamiento de una aplicación web que utiliza el sistema de ficheros local.
