Debian Linux Security Advisory 5137-1 - Jakub Wilk discovered a local privilege escalation in needrestart, a utility to check which daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades. Regular expressions to detect the Perl, Python, and Ruby interpreters are not anchored, allowing a local user to escalate privileges when needrestart tries to detect if interpreters are using old source files.
