2017-09-15 CVE-2017-14484 Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Gentoo Sci-Mathematics-Gimps 28.10
The Gentoo sci-mathematics/gimps package before 28.10-r1 for Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) allows local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link under /var/lib/gimps, because an unsafe "chown -R" command is executed.
