Package : eject
CVE ID : CVE-2017-6964
Debian Bug : 858872

Ilja Van Sprundel discovered that the dmcrypt-get-device helper used to
check if a given device is an encrypted device handled by devmapper, and
used in eject, does not check return values from setuid() and setgid()
when dropping privileges.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-13.1+deb8u1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-13.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your eject packages.
