  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Multiple vulnerabilties have been found in Amanda,a backup system designed to archive many computers on a network to a single large-capacity tape drive. The vulnerabilties potentially allows local privilege escalation from the backup user to root or leak information whether a directory exists in the filesystem.

CVE-2022-37703

In Amanda 3.5.1, an information leak vulnerability was found in the calcsize SUID binary. An attacker can abuse this vulnerability to know if a directory exists or not anywhere in the fs. The binary will use `opendir()` as root directly without checking the path, letting the attacker provide an arbitrary path.


CVE-2022-37705

A privilege escalation flaw was found in Amanda 3.5.1 in which the backup user can acquire root privileges. The vulnerable component is the runtar SUID program, which is a wrapper to run /usr/bin/tar with specific arguments that are controllable by the attacker. This program mishandles the arguments passed to tar binary.

CVE-2023-30577

The SUID binary runtar can accept the possibly malicious GNU tar options if fed with some non-argument option starting with '--exclude' (say --exclude-vcs). The following option will be accepted as good and it could be an option passing some script/binary that would be executed with root permissions.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.5.1-2+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your amanda packages.
