Description:
SGI 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 SGI this can be exploited to escalate privileges. Other vendors however, state that it only may be used to read quota information.
