Description:
Debian has issued an update for XFS. This fixes a vulnerability allowing local users to read quota information.
The problem is that the file containing the information is created with insecure permissions.
According to other vendors this can be exploited to escalate privileges. Debian however, states that it can only be used to read quota information.
