CVE-2019-11675
Last modified
CVE-2019-11675 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The groonga-httpd package 6.1.5-1 for Debian sets the /var/log/groonga ownership to the groonga account, which might let local users obtain root access because of unsafe interaction with logrotate. For example, an attacker can exploit a race condition to insert a symlink from /var/log/groonga/httpd to /etc/bash_completion.d. EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
