Descriptions

Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM) before 0.10.0 allows local users to gain root privileges because code running as root performs write operations within a user home directory, and this user may have created links in advance (exploitation requires the user to win a race condition in the ~/.Xauthority chown case, but not other cases).

Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM), en versiones anteriores a la 0.10.0, permite que los usuarios locales obtengan privilegios root, ya que la ejecución de código como root realiza operaciones de escritura en un directorio de inicio del usuario y dicho usuario podría haber creado enlaces anteriormente (su explotación requiere que el usuario explote previamente una condición de carrera en ~/.Xauthority con los permisos adecuados. Nunca en otros casos).
