Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200611-05 - Paul Szabo reported that an incorrect seteuid() call after the chdir() function can allow an attacker to access a normally forbidden directory, in some very particular circumstances, for example when the NFS-hosted targeted directory is not reachable by the client-side root user. Additionally, some potentially exploitable unchecked setuid() calls were also fixed. Versions less than 0.17-r4 are affected.
