CVE-2006-1319
First published: Mon Mar 20 2006(Updated: )
chpst in runit 1.3.3-1 for Debian GNU/Linux, when compiled on little endian i386 machines against dietlibc, does not properly handle when multiple groups are specified in the -u option, which causes chpst to assign permissions for the root group due to inconsistent bit sizes for the gid_t type.
