CVE-2020-24331

Published: 13 August 2020

An issue was discovered in TrouSerS through 0.3.14. If the tcsd daemon is started with root privileges, the tss user still has read and write access to the /etc/tcsd.conf file (which contains various settings related to this daemon).

Notes

AuthorNote
mdeslaur
the Debian/Ubuntu package starts tcsd as the tss user, not as
root, so this issue doesn't affect default configurations
