CVE-2022-37706  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-269  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable e17 to version 0.25.4-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream e17 package and not the e17 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

enlightenment_sys in Enlightenment before 0.25.4 allows local users to gain privileges because it is setuid root, and the system library function mishandles pathnames that begin with a /dev/.. substring.
