CVE-2017-18270
Published: 18 May 2018
In the Linux kernel before 4.13.5, a local user could create keyrings for other users via keyctl commands, setting unwanted defaults or causing a denial of service.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that the keyring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly prevent a user from creating keyrings for other users. A local attacker could use this cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information.
