CVE-2006-4447

Publication date 30 August 2006

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

X.Org and XFree86, including libX11, xdm, xf86dga, xinit, xload, xtrans, and xterm, does not check the return values for setuid and seteuid calls when attempting to drop privileges, which might allow local users to gain privileges by causing those calls to fail, such as by exceeding a ulimit.
