Jann Horn discovered a vulnerability in
the fuse (Filesystem in Userspace) package in Debian. The fuse package ships an
udev rule adjusting permissions on the related /dev/cuse character device, making
it world writable.
This permits a local, unprivileged attacker to create an
arbitrarily-named character device in /dev and modify the memory of any
process that opens it and performs an ioctl on it.
This in turn might allow a local, unprivileged attacker to escalate to
root privileges.
