NVD Description

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

The compilation daemon in Scala before 2.10.7, 2.11.x before 2.11.12, and 2.12.x before 2.12.4 uses weak permissions for private files in /tmp/scala-devel/${USER:shared}/scalac-compile-server-port, which allows local users to write to arbitrary class files and consequently gain privileges.
