CVE-2008-0001: Low severity linux kernel vulnerability
Published Jan 15, 2008
·Updated
VFS in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22.16, and 2.6.23.x before 2.6.23.14, performs tests of access mode by using the flag variable instead of the accmode variable, which might allow local users to bypass intended permissions and remove directories.
