Description

Updated libcap-ng packages fix CVE-2014-3215 Updated libcap-ng packages fix security vulnerability: capng_lock() in libcap-ng before 0.7.4 sets securebits in an attempt to prevent regaining capabilities using setuid-root programs. This allows a user to run setuid programs, such as seunshare from policycoreutils, as uid 0 but without capabilities, which is potentially dangerous (CVE-2014-3215).

Affected Systems

  • mageia•libcap-ng

    < 0.7.3-2.1.mga3

  • mageia•libcap-ng

    < 0.7.3-3.1.mga4
