Medium: fuse

Issue Overview: A vulnerability was discovered in fuse. When SELinux is active, fusermount is vulnerable to a restriction bypass. This allows non-root users to mount a FUSE file system with the 'allowother' mount option regardless of whether 'userallowother' is set in the fuse configuration. An...

A vulnerability in the tmpreaper software exists due to the simultaneous execution using a shared resource with incorrect synchronization. This allows attackers to increase their privileges.

The vulnerability in the tmpreaper software is related to the behavior during mounting through the rename function. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow a hacker to enhance their privileges or place files in any arbitrary location within the file system hierarchy...

The vulnerability of the graphical configuration tool for “hot” device connections in the Astra Linux operating system allows a hacker to cause a service failure when multiple devices are connected simultaneously.

The vulnerability of the graphical configuration tool for hot-plug devices on the Astra Linux operating system is related to a file reading error that causes the inability to connect and mount the connected device. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to cause service failures when...

Linux: Mounting of vfat filesystems

Older Windows systems and portable USB drives or flash modules use the FAT filesystem. The vfat module supports FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32. Linux kernel modules which implement filesystems that are not needed by the local system should be disabled. Note: This script looks for entry...

Linux: Mounting of squashfs filesystems

The squashfs filesystem type is a compressed read-only Linux filesystem embedded in small footprint systems similar to cramfs. A squashfs image can be used without having to first decompress the image. Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the system. ...

Linux: Mounting of freevxfs filesystems

The freevxfs filesystem type is a free version of the Veritas type filesystem. This is the primary filesystem type for HP-UX operating systems. Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the system. If this filesystem type is not needed, disable it...

Linux: Mounting of hfs filesystems

The hfs filesystem type is a hierarchical filesystem that allows you to mount Mac OS X filesystems. Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the system. If this filesystem type is not needed, disable it. SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2019 Greenbone AG Some text...

Linux: Mounting of udf filesystems

The udf filesystem type is the universal disk format used to implement ISO/IEC 13346 and ECMA-167 specifications. This is an open vendor filesystem type for data storage on a broad range of media. This filesystem type is necessary to support writing DVDs and newer optical disc formats. Removing...

kernel: Invalid pointer dereference in xfs_ilock_attr_map_shared() when mounting crafted xfs image allowing denial of service

The xfsdinodeverify function in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfsinodebuf.c in the Linux kernel can cause a NULL pointer dereference in xfsilockattrmapshared function. An attacker could trick a legitimate user or a privileged attacker could exploit this by mounting a crafted xfs filesystem image to cause a kerne...

glusterfs: Stack-based buffer overflow in server-rpc-fops.c allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code

It was found that glusterfs server is vulnerable to mulitple stack based buffer overflows due to functions in server-rpc-fopc.c allocating fixed size buffers using 'alloca3'. An authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a gluster volume and sending a string longer that the fixed buffe...
