The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.8.2 preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allows local users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on execute permissions. (CVE-2016-7097)

Impact

A local user may be allowed to gain group privileges by way of certain setgidapplications.
