CVE-2009-1072

Publication date 25 March 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

nfsd in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28.9 does not drop the CAP_MKNOD capability before handling a user request in a thread, which allows local users to create device nodes, as demonstrated on a filesystem that has been exported with the root_squash option.
