CVE-2023-1521  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable sccache to version 0.5.3-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

On Linux the sccache client can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local sccache server, by preloading the code in a shared library passed to LD_PRELOAD.

If the server is run as root (which is the default when installing the snap package https://snapcraft.io/sccache ), this means a user running the sccache client can get root privileges.
