The vulnerability of the inode_init_owner() function in the fs/inode.c file of the XFS file system’s kernel of the Linux operating system allows a malicious actor to escalate their privileges and gain access to protected information. It can also cause service interruptions.

The vulnerability of the inodeinitowner function in the fs/inode.c file of the XFS file system in the Linux operating system is related to the incorrect setting of access group attributes during file creation. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to enhance their privileges and gai...

A vulnerability was found in the fs/inode.c:inode_init_owner() function logic of the LInux kernel that allows local users to create files for the XFS file-system with an unintended group ownership and with group execution and SGID permission bits set in a scenario where a directory is SGID and belongs to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of this group. This can lead to excessive permissions granted in case when they should not. This vulnerability is similar to the previous CVE-2018-13405 and adds the missed fix for the XFS.
