Description Zombie Ryushu 2017-02-19 21:57:25 CET
Firejail is vulnerable to the escalation of privileges due to an
incomplete fix for CVE-2017-5180.

Background
==========

A SUID program that reduces the risk of security breaches by
restricting the running environment of untrusted applications using
Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  sys-apps/firejail           < 0.9.44.8               >= 0.9.44.8

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     2 affected packages

Description
===========

The unaffected packages listed in GLSA 201612-48 had an incomplete fix
as reported by Sebastian Krahmer of SuSE. This has been properly
patched in the latest releases.

Impact
======

An attacker could possibly bypass sandbox protection, cause a Denial of
Service condition, or escalate privileges.
