Privilege Escalation

glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The fix for CVE-2010-3847 introduced a regression in the way the dynamic loader expanded the $ORIGIN dynamic string token specified in the RPATH and RUNPATH entries in the ELF library header. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their...

UBUNTU-CVE-2020-5212

In NetHack before 3.6.5, an extremely long value for the MENUCOLOR configuration file option can cause a buffer overflow resulting in a crash or remote code execution/privilege escalation. This vulnerability affects systems that have NetHack installed suid/sgid and shared systems that allow users...

CVE-2017-6964

dmcrypt-get-device, as shipped in the eject package of Debian and Ubuntu, does not check the return value of the 1 setuid or 2 setgid function, which might cause dmcrypt-get-device to execute code, which was intended to run as an unprivileged user, as root. This affects eject through...

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...

glibc: ld.so arbitrary DSO loading via LD_AUDIT in setuid/setgid programs

ld.so in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 before 2.11.3, and 2.12.x before 2.12.2, does not properly restrict use of the LDAUDIT environment variable to reference dynamic shared objects DSOs as audit objects, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging an unsafe DSO located in a...

glibc: ld.so insecure handling of $ORIGIN in LD_AUDIT for setuid/setgid programs

elf/dl-load.c in ld.so in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 through 2.11.2, and 2.12.x through 2.12.1, does not properly handle a value of $ORIGIN for the LDAUDIT environment variable, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted dynamic shared object DSO located in an arbitrary...

rpm: fails to drop SUID/SGID bits on package upgrade

lib/fsm.c in RPM 4.8.0 and unspecified 4.7.x and 4.6.x versions, and RPM before 4.4.3, does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during replacement of the file in an RPM package upgrade, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable 1...

CVE-2005-4889

lib/fsm.c in RPM before 4.4.3 does not properly reset the metadata of an executable file during deletion of the file in an RPM package removal, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link to a vulnerable 1 setuid or 2 setgid file, a related issue to CVE-2010-2059...
