    Package        : multipath-tools
    Version        : 0.7.9-3+deb10u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2022-41973 CVE-2022-41974
    Debian Bug     : 1022742

    Multiple issues were found in multipath-tools, a tool-chain to manage disk
    multipath device maps, which may be used by local attackers to obtain root
    privileges or create a directories or overwrite files via symlink attacks.

    Please note that the fix for CVE-2022-41973 involves switching from
    /dev/shm to systemd-tmpfiles (/run/multipath-tools).
    If you have previously accesssed /dev/shm directly, please update your
    setup to the new path to facilitate this change.


    CVE-2022-41973

        multipath-tools 0.7.7 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to
        obtain root access, as exploited in conjunction with CVE-2022-41974.
        Local users able to access /dev/shm can change symlinks in multipathd
        due to incorrect symlink handling, which could lead to controlled file
        writes outside of the /dev/shm directory. This could be used indirectly
        for local privilege escalation to root.

    CVE-2022-41974

        multipath-tools 0.7.0 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to
        obtain root access, as exploited alone or in conjunction with
        CVE-2022-41973. Local users able to write to UNIX domain sockets can
        bypass access controls and manipulate the multipath setup. This can lead
        to local privilege escalation to root. This occurs because an attacker
        can repeat a keyword, which is mishandled because arithmetic ADD is used
        instead of bitwise OR.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
    0.7.9-3+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your multipath-tools packages.
