The vulnerability of the util-linux package on Linux operating systems allows a hacker to gain unauthorized access to passwords or modify the user’s swap space.

The vulnerability of the util-linux package on Linux operating systems is related to the improper assignment of privileges. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker, working remotely, to gain unauthorized access to passwords or modify the user’s swap file by using the wall command with...

wall in util-linux through 2.40 often installed with setgid tty permissions allows escape sequences to be sent to other users' terminals through argv. (Specifically escape sequences received from stdin are blocked but escape sequences received from argv are not blocked.) There may be plausible scenarios where this leads to account takeover.

BIT-GOLANG-2023-29403 Unsafe behavior in setuid/setgid binaries in runtime

On Unix platforms, the Go runtime does not behave differently when a binary is run with the setuid/setgid bits. This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of standard i/o file descriptors. If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard I...
