NVD Description

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

util-linux/mdev.c in BusyBox before 1.21.0 uses 0777 permissions for parent directories when creating nested directories under /dev/, which allows local users to have unknown impact and attack vectors.
