Linux kernel ncp_lookup allows elevated privileges
| linux-ncplookup-gain-privileges (15250) |  High Risk |
Description:
Linux kernel could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a vulnerability in the ncp_lookup function in ncpfs. The ncp_lookup function in the ncpfs is a file system that contains a mount program for NetWare servers and provides printing capabilities for NetWare printers.
Consequences:
Gain Privileges
