CVE-2013-6412

Publication date 23 January 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The transform_save function in transform.c in Augeas 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 does not properly calculate the permission values when the umask contains a "7," which causes world-writable permissions to be used for new files and allows local users to modify the files via unspecified vectors.
