NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream criu package and not the criu package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

The service daemon in CRIU creates log and dump files insecurely, which allows local users to create arbitrary files and take ownership of existing files via unspecified vectors related to a directory path.
