Description:
Red Hat has issued an update for udev. This fixes a vulnerability, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to insecure permissions being set on "/dev/input" by udev. This may be exploited by malicious users to gain access to certain information (e.g. keyboard input) by reading from "/dev/input/event0".
