kernel: load_elf_ binary() does not take account of the need to allocate sufficient space for the entire binary

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel loaded ELF executables. Provided that an application was built as Position Independent Executable PIE, the loader could allow part of that application's data segment to map over the memory area reserved for its stack, potentially resulting in memory...

glibc: LD_POINTER_GUARD in the environment is not sanitized

It was found that the dynamic loader did not sanitize the LDPOINTERGUARD environment variable. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass the pointer guarding protection on set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application...

The vulnerability of Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux operating systems allows attackers to enhance their privileges.

The vulnerability of Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux operating systems is related to errors in error handling. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an intruder to increase their privileges locally. The dmcrypt-get-device utility, which comes with the Ubuntu package for extraction, does not check t...

CVE-2017-1000372

A flaw exists in OpenBSD's implementation of the stack guard page that allows attackers to bypass it resulting in arbitrary code execution using setuid binaries such as /usr/bin/at. This affects OpenBSD 6.1 and possibly earlier versions...

CVE-2017-5671

Honeywell Intermec PM23, PM42, PM43, PC23, PC43, PD43, and PC42 industrial printers before 10.11.013310 and 10.12.x before 10.12.013309 have /usr/bin/lua installed setuid to the itadmin account, which allows local users to conduct a BusyBox jailbreak attack and obtain root privileges by overwriti...

USN-3246-1 eject vulnerability

Ilja Van Sprundel discovered that dmcrypt-get-device incorrectly checked setuid and setgid return values. A local attacker could use this issue to execute code as an administrator...

PoC exploit for CVE-2016-5195, a Linux kernel vulnerability allo...

UBUNTU-CVE-2016-10151

The hesiodinit function in lib/hesiod.c in Hesiod 3.2.1 compares EUID with UID to determine whether to use configurations from environment variables, which allows local users to gain privileges via the 1 HESIODCONFIG or 2 HESDOMAIN environment variable and leveraging certain SUID/SGUID binary...

CVE-2016-5995

Untrusted search path vulnerability in IBM DB2 9.7 through FP11, 10.1 through FP5, 10.5 before FP8, and 11.1 GA on Linux, AIX, and HP-UX allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse library that is accessed by a setuid or setgid program...

The vulnerability of the NameSurfer IP address management server allows a malicious actor to perform unauthorized privilege escalation within the system.

The vulnerability of the Nixu NameSurfer software lies in errors in the program’s code. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a malicious individual to unauthorizedly elevate privileges within the system by writing a path to their file into the $PATH variable, and having that application executed...

UBUNTU-CVE-2016-3672

The archpickmmaplayout function in arch/x86/mm/mmap.c in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly randomize the legacy base address, which makes it easier for local users to defeat the intended restrictions on the ADDRNORANDOMIZE flag, and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism for a setuid...

UBUNTU-CVE-2015-5200

The trace functionality in libvdpau before 1.1.1, when used in a setuid or setgid application, allows local users to write to arbitrary files via unspecified vectors...

Cisco Prime Infrastructure SUID Root Binaries Remote Command Execution Vulnerability

Cisco Prime Infrastructure PI is a set of Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution LMS and Cisco Prime Network Control System NCS technologies for wireless management. solution. A remote command execution vulnerability exists in Cisco PI, which can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary syst...

kernel: race condition between chown() and execve()

A race condition flaw was found between the chown and execve system calls. When changing the owner of a setuid user binary to root, the race condition could momentarily make the binary setuid root. A local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the syst...

UBUNTU-CVE-2015-3339

Race condition in the preparebinprm function in fs/exec.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19.6 allows local users to gain privileges by executing a setuid program at a time instant when a chown to root is in progress, and the ownership is changed but the setuid bit is not yet stripped...

mod_wsgi: possible privilege escalation in setuid() failure scenarios

It was found that modwsgi did not properly drop privileges if the call to setuid failed. If modwsgi was set up to allow unprivileged users to run WSGI applications, a local user able to run a WSGI application could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. Note: modwsgi i...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-5033

KDE kdelibs before 4.14 and kauth before 5.1 does not properly use D-Bus for communication with a polkit authority, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a PolkitUnixProcess PolkitSubject race condition via a 1 setuid process or 2 pkexec process, related to...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-0240

The modwsgi module before 3.5 for Apache, when daemon mode is enabled, does not properly handle error codes returned by setuid when run on certain Linux kernels, which allows local users to gain privileges via vectors related to the number of running processes...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-0181

The Netlink implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 does not provide a mechanism for authorizing socket operations based on the opener of a socket, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and modify network configurations by using a Netlink socket for the 1 stdou...
