Descriptions
The ovl_setattr function in fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3 attempts to merge distinct setattr operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and modify the attributes of arbitrary overlay files via a crafted application.
La función ovl_setattr en fs/overlayfs/inode.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.3.3 trata de fusionar distintas operaciones setattr, lo que permite a usuarios locales eludir las restricciones destinadas al acceso y modificar los atributos de archivos overlay arbitrarios a través de una aplicación manipulada.
