A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the famtd component of Micro Focus Filr 3.0 allows a local attacker authenticated as a low privilege user to escalate to root. This vulnerability affects all versions of Filr 3.x prior to Security Update 6.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
