    CVE-2017-15288

    Published: 15 Nov 2017Last Modified: 8 Jul 2026

    Summary:

    Details: The compilation daemon in Scala before 2.10.7, 2.11.x before 2.11.12, and 2.12.x before 2.12.4 uses weak permissions for private files in /tmp/scala-devel/${USER:shared}/scalac-compile-server-port, which allows local users to write to arbitrary class files and consequently gain privileges.
