Mauro Matteo Cascella 2022-02-14 19:23:50 UTC Doc Text A flaw was found in util-linux's chfn and chsh utilities when compiled with readline support. The readline library uses an "INPUTRC" environment variable to get a path to the library config file. When the library cannot parse the specified file, it prints an error message containing data from the file. An unprivileged user could use this flaw to read root-owned files, potentially leading to privilege escalation.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s util-linux chfn and chsh utilities when compiled with Readline support. The Readline library uses an "INPUTRC" environment variable to get a path to the library config file.
