Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Check for Dropped Privileges

EUVDB-ID: #VU24690

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18276

CWE-ID: CWE-273 - Improper Check for Dropped Privileges

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists in "disable_priv_mode()" function in shell.c due to the affected software attempts to drop privileges but does not check or incorrectly checks to see if the drop succeeded. A local user with command execution in the shell can use "enable -f" for runtime loading of a new builtin, which can be a shared object that calls setuid() and therefore regains privileges.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU21785

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9924

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to "rbash" does not prevent the shell user from modifying BASH_CMDS. A local authenticate user can execute any command with the permissions of the shell.

Mitigation
