NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dracut package and not the dracut package as distributed by Ubuntu.

modules.d/90crypt/module-setup.sh in the dracut package before 037-17.30.1 in openSUSE 13.2 allows local users to have unspecified impact via a symlink attack on /tmp/dracut_block_uuid.map.
