CVE-2011-2709

Publication date 21 June 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

libgssapi and libgssglue before 0.4 do not properly check privileges, which allows local users to load untrusted configuration files and execute arbitrary code via the GSSAPI_MECH_CONF environment variable, as demonstrated using mount.nfs.
