CVE-2011-1835

Publication date 9 August 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The encrypted private-directory setup process in utils/ecryptfs-setup-private in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly ensure that the passphrase file is created, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions at a certain time in the new-user creation steps.
