DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2018-13405: Permissions bypass when creating file in SGID directory.

Creating an executable file in an SGID directory can result in the file
having the group ownership of the directory. This can be exploited to
elevate privileges if the file is created in a directory owned by a
privileged group.
