This flaw allows an attacker to leverage this issue by creating a symlink point to a target folder, which then has its ownership transferred to the new home directory&#39;s unprivileged user.</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Red Hat oddjob</p> <p>A race condition was found in the mkhomedir tool shipped with the oddjob package in versions before 0.34.5 and 0.34.6 wherein, during the home creation, mkhomedir copies the /etc/skel directory into the newly created home and changes its ownership to the home&#39;s user without properly checking the homedir path.
