CVSS v2.0

10

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IRIX versions 6.x
Description The issue concerns a problem with the truncate function in the xfs file system, where it does not properly check for privileges. This allows local users to delete the contents of arbitrary files.
Recommendations For IRIX version 6.x, consider restricting access to the truncate function in the xfs file system until a proper fix is available. As a temporary workaround, limit local user privileges to minimize the risk of exploitation.
