Description

Jann Horn discovered that the setuid-root mount.ecryptfs_private helper in the ecryptfs-utils would mount over any target directory that the user owns, including a directory in procfs. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate his privileges.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
