Advisory Updated Date: 2020-06-17 23:37 Pacific
Severity:
Important
References:
CVE-2019-20044
Issue Overview:
In Zsh before 5.8, attackers able to execute commands can regain privileges dropped by the --no-PRIVILEGED option. Zsh fails to overwrite the saved uid, so the original privileges can be restored by executing MODULE_PATH=/dir/with/module zmodload with a module that calls setuid(). (CVE-2019-20044)
Affected Packages:
zsh
Issue Correction:
Run yum update zsh to update your system.
