NVD Description

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

Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) 3.x before 3.1.0 shipped a spec file that calls chown on files in a directory controlled by the service user (the shibd account) after installation. This allows the user to escalate to root by pointing symlinks to files such as /etc/shadow.
