EUVDB-ID: #VU58333
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-41617
CWE-ID:
CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management in sshd, when certain non-default configurations are used, because supplemental groups are not initialized as expected. Helper programs for AuthorizedKeysCommand and
AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand may run with privileges associated with
group memberships of the sshd process, if the configuration specifies
running the command as a different user. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
Install updates from vendor's repository.
