CVE-2013-1813

Published: 23 November 2013

util-linux/mdev.c in BusyBox before 1.21.0 uses 0777 permissions for parent directories when creating nested directories under /dev/, which allows local users to have unknown impact and attack vectors.

Notes

AuthorNote
seth-arnold
"low" because mdev doesn't easily support nested directories
