CVE-2007-5191

Publication date 4 October 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

mount and umount in util-linux and loop-aes-utils call the setuid and setgid functions in the wrong order and do not check the return values, which might allow attackers to gain privileges via helpers such as mount.nfs.
