NVD Description

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

Race condition in pigz before 2.2.5 uses permissions derived from the umask when compressing a file before setting that file's permissions to match those of the original file, which might allow local users to bypass intended access permissions while compression is occurring.
