Ilja van Sprundel discovered a flaw in the lock file handling of kcheckpass. A local attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

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