Descriptions

Supportutils, before version 3.1-5.7.1, when run with command line argument -A searched the file system for a ndspath binary. If an attacker provides one at an arbitrary location it is executed with root privileges

Supportutils, en versiones anteriores a la 3.1-5.7.1, buscaba en el sistema de archivos por un binario ndspath al ejecutarse con una línea de comandos con el argumento -A. Si un atacante proporciona uno de dichos argumentos en una ubicación arbitraria, se ejecuta con privilegios root.
