Description
The AX.25 daemon (ax25d) in ax25-tools before 0.0.8-13 does not check the return value of a setuid call. The setuid call is responsible for dropping privileges but if the call fails the daemon would continue to run with root privileges which can allow possible privilege escalation.
Affected configurations
• linux-ax25 ax25-tools (< 0.0.8-13)
• debian debian linux 8.0
• debian debian linux 9.0
• debian debian linux 10.0
