CVE-2014-1422 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5/10 on the CVSS scale. In Ubuntu's trust-store, if a user revokes location access from an application, the location is still available to the application because the application will honour incorrect, cached permissions. This is because the cache was not ordered by creation time by the Select struct in src/core/trust/impl/sqlite3/store.cpp. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

In Ubuntu's trust-store, if a user revokes location access from an application, the location is still available to the application because the application will honour incorrect, cached permissions.
