Description Michael Kaplan 2021-02-18 16:37:52 UTC
In JetBrains Kotlin from 1.4-M1 to 1.4-RC (as Kotlin 1.3.7x is not affected by the issue. Fixed version is 1.4.0) there is a script-cache privilege escalation vulnerability due to kotlin-main-kts cached scripts in the system temp directory, which is shared by all users by default.

Comment 2 Jonathan Christison 2021-02-18 16:50:35 UTC
Marking Red Hat Fuse 7, Red Hat Integration Camel-K and Red Hat Integration Service Registry as not affected as no kotlin artifacts from the vulnerable range are distributed or used.

Comment 3 Todd Cullum 2021-03-17 21:32:49 UTC
Statement:

CodeReady Studio 12 is not affected by this flaw because it ships a previous version of kotlin-stdlib without the vulnerable code present.

Red Hat Fuse 7, Red Hat Integration Camel-K and Red Hat Integration Service Registry are not affected by this flaw because no kotlin artifacts from the vulnerable range are distributed or used.
