CVE-2009-1601

Publication date 11 May 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The Ubuntu clamav-milter.init script in clamav-milter before 0.95.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1.2 in Ubuntu 9.04 sets the ownership of the current working directory to the clamav account, which might allow local users to bypass intended access restrictions via read or write operations involving this directory.
