Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 3.19

Description The issue allows local users to bypass intended ACL settings and gain privileges via standard filesystem operations. This can occur in two scenarios: (1) during an xattr-replacement time window, related to a race condition, or (2) after an xattr-replacement attempt that fails because the data does not fit. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 3.19, update to version 3.19 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive filesystem operations to minimize the risk of exploitation.
