    Published: 23 Jan 2014Last Modified: 16 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: The transform_save function in transform.c in Augeas 1.0.0 through 1.1.0 does not properly calculate the permission values when the umask contains a "7," which causes world-writable permissions to be used for new files and allows local users to modify the files via unspecified vectors.
