- Details

Linux distributions using CAPSYSNICE for gnome-shell may be exposed to a privilege escalation issue. An attacker, with low privilege permissions, may take advantage of the way CAPSYSNICE is currently implemented and eventually load code to increase its process scheduler priority leading to possible DoS of other services running in the same machine.
