NVD Description

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

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation in top. If a user runs top with HOME unset in an attacker-controlled directory, the attacker could achieve privilege escalation by exploiting one of several vulnerabilities in the config_file() function.
