NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream fuse-overlayfs package and not the fuse-overlayfs package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

fuse-overlayfs is an implementation of overlayfs in FUSE for rootless containers. Prior to 1.17, the release-1.x C branch preserves SUID and SGID mode bits in main.c during open(O_TRUNC) and truncate handling on a copied-up file, allowing a low-privileged process to leave the upper-layer file with mode 4777. This issue is fixed in version 1.17.
