Ein lokaler Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Red Hat Enterprise Linux ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, einschließlich der Ausführung von Code mit Root-Rechten, um Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen.

Under what conditions?

Only with access to the device or an account on it. Often the second step after a phishing email.
