NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream celery package and not the celery package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Celery 2.1 and 2.2 before 2.2.8, 2.3 before 2.3.4, and 2.4 before 2.4.4 changes the effective id but not the real id during processing of the --uid and --gid arguments to celerybeat, celeryd_detach, celeryd-multi, and celeryev, which allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving crafted code that is executed by the worker process.
