CVE-2020-10737 SUSE CVE security@suse.de SUSE Security Team SUSE CVE-2020-10737 Interim 1 7 2022-10-15T15:21:55Z current 2021-05-30T14:38:51Z 2022-10-15T15:21:55Z cve-database/bin/generate-cvrf-cve.pl 2020-12-27T01:00:00Z CVE-2020-10737 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's user without properly checking the homedir path. 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's unprivileged user.
