CWE-264  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 augeas to version 1.2.0-0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream augeas package and not the augeas package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The transform_save function in transform.c in Augeas 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 does not properly calculate the permission values when the umask contains a "7," which causes world-writable permissions to be used for new files and allows local users to modify the files via unspecified vectors.
