The kernel packages is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. The RHBA-2008:0314 update introduced N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) support in the qla2xxx driver, resulting in two new sysfs pseudo files, “/sys/class/scsi_host/[a qla2xxx host]/vport_create” and “vport_delete”. These two files were world-writable by default, allowing a local user to change SCSI host attributes. This flaw only affects systems using the qla2xxx driver and NPIV capable hardware.
