NVD Description

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

Valve Steam 2.10.91.91 uses weak permissions (Users: read and write) for the Install folder, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse steam.exe file.
