NVD Description

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

It was found that the "mknod" call derived from mknod(2) can create files pointing to devices on a glusterfs server node. An authenticated attacker could use this to create an arbitrary device and read data from any device attached to the glusterfs server node.
