CVE-2013-6617: SaltStack Privilege Escalation vulnerability

The vulnerability description indicates improper group privilege dropping in SaltStack's master process, but the provided information lacks specific code references, commit diffs, or patch details. While the root cause likely involves missing/incomplete setgid() or setgroups() calls during privilege dropping, the exact vulnerable functions and their locations cannot be identified with high confidence without examining the original source code from versions 0.11.0 to 0.17.0. The advisory references and CWE-264 (Permissions management) suggest a privilege management flaw, but insufficient technical details prevent precise function identification.
