Latest ecryptfs utils CVEs

Newest publication first

  1. MediumCVSS 4.6

    utils/ecryptfs-recover-private in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not establish a subdirectory with safe permissions, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions via standard filesystem operations during the recovery process.

  2. MediumCVSS 4.4

    The encrypted private-directory setup process in utils/ecryptfs-setup-private in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly ensure that the passphrase file is created, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions at a certain time in the new-user creation...

  3. LowCVSS 2.1

    utils/mount.ecryptfs_private.c in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly maintain the mtab file during error conditions, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (table corruption) or bypass intended unmounting restrictions via a umount system call.

  4. MediumCVSS 4.6

    utils/mount.ecryptfs_private.c in ecryptfs-utils before 90 does not properly check mountpoint permissions, which allows local users to effectively replace any directory with a new filesystem, and consequently gain privileges, via a mount system call.

  5. HighCVSS 7.2

    The (1) ecryptfs-setup-private, (2) ecryptfs-setup-confidential, and (3) ecryptfs-setup-pam-wrapped.sh scripts in ecryptfs-utils 45 through 61 in eCryptfs place cleartext passwords on command lines, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by listing the process.
