CVE-2021-25630

Published Feb 23, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
"loolforkit" is a privileged program that is supposed to be run by a special, non-privileged "lool" user. Before doing anything else "loolforkit" checks, if it was invoked by the "lool" user, and refuses to run with privileges, if it's not the case. In the vulnerable version of "loolforkit" this check was wrong, so a normal user could start "loolforkit" and eventually get local root privileges.
