NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream aide package and not the aide package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

AIDE before 0.17.4 allows local users to obtain root privileges via crafted file metadata (such as XFS extended attributes or tmpfs ACLs), because of a heap-based buffer overflow.
