CVE-2019-3690

chkstat follows untrusted symbolic links

CVSS 6.8 MEDIUMEPSS 0.4%CWE-59

The chkstat tool in the permissions package followed symlinks before commit a9e1d26cd49ef9ee0c2060c859321128a6dd4230 (please also check the additional hardenings after this fix). This allowed local attackers with control over a path that is traversed by chkstat to escalate privileges.
