CVE-2019-15901 (GCVE-0-2019-15901)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-10-18 15:44 – Updated: 2024-08-05 01:03

Summary
An issue was discovered in slicer69 doas before 6.2 on certain platforms other than OpenBSD. A setusercontext(3) call with flags to change the UID, primary GID, and secondary GIDs was replaced (on certain platforms: Linux and possibly NetBSD) with a single setuid(2) call. This resulted in neither changing the group id nor initializing secondary group ids.
