Decades-Old Security Vulnerabilities Found in Ubuntu's Needrestart Package

Multiple decade-old security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in the needrestart package installed by default in Ubuntu Server since version 21.04 that could allow a local attacker to gain root privileges without requiring user interaction. The Qualys Threat Research Unit TRU, which identified...

CVE-2024-48991

Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root by winning a race condition and tricking needrestart into running their own, fake Python interpreter instead of the system's real Python interpreter. The initial security fix 6ce6136...

CVE-2024-48992

Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running the Ruby interpreter with an attacker-controlled RUBYLIB environment variable...

CVE-2024-48990

Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running the Python interpreter with an attacker-controlled PYTHONPATH environment variable...

CVE-2024-10224

Qualys discovered that if unsanitized input was used with the library Modules::ScanDeps, before version 1.36 a local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary shell commands by opening a "pesky pipe" such as passing "commands|" as a filename or by passing arbitrary strings to eval...

CVE-2024-11003

Qualys discovered that needrestart, before version 3.8, passes unsanitized data to a library Modules::ScanDeps which expects safe input. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. Please see the related CVE-2024-10224 in Modules::ScanDeps...

CVE-2024-48992

CVE-2024-48992 affects needrestart before 3.8. An attacker could trigger arbitrary root commands by supplying an attacker-controlled RUBYLIB and tricking the Ruby interpreter, per the initial description. The TencentOS Server 4 advisory also notes that needrestart passes unsanitized data to Modul...

CVE-2024-48991

CVE-2024-48991 affects needrestart prior to version 3.8. The issue arises from a race condition that allows a local attacker to trick needrestart into executing their own Python interpreter, leading to arbitrary code execution as root. The initial fix (commit 6ce6136) introduced a regression, whi...

CVE-2024-48990

The CVE-2024-48990 vulnerability affects needrestart prior to 3.8, where an attacker can cause root code execution by manipulating the PYTHONPATH environment variable as needrestart runs Python with elevated privileges. Public PoCs and exploits exist (e.g., PoCs and Metasploit module targeting ne...
