CVE-2018-7408 unimportant priority: Debian including 1 source packages (npm), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.
