CVE-2019-19522 Information

Description

OpenBSD 6.6 in a non-default configuration where S/Key or YubiKey authentication is enabled allows local users to become root by leveraging membership in the auth group. This occurs because root’s file can be written to /etc/skey or /var/db/yubikey and need not be owned by root.
