"An issue was discovered in shadow 4.5. newgidmap (in shadow-utils) is
setuid and allows an unprivileged user to be placed in a user
namespace where setgroups(2) is permitted. This allows an attacker to
remove themselves from a supplementary group, which may allow access
to certain filesystem paths if the administrator has used group
blacklisting (e.g., chmod g-rwx) to restrict access to paths. This
flaw effectively reverts a security feature in the kernel (in
particular, the /proc/self/setgroups knob) to prevent this sort of
privilege escalation.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
