NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ecryptfs-utils package and not the ecryptfs-utils package as distributed by Debian.

The encrypted private-directory setup process in utils/ecryptfs-setup-private in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly ensure that the passphrase file is created, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions at a certain time in the new-user creation steps.
