audit_log_user_command() function in the file lib/audit_logging.c when |
47 |
processing overly long arguments. |

A local attacker could execute a specially crafted command on the host |
53 |
running Linux Audit, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary |
54 |
code with the privileges of the user running Linux Audit. |
