Qualys discovered that needrestart suffers from multiple local privilege escalation vulnerabilities that allow for root access from an unprivileged user.
Debian Linux Security Advisory 5815-1 - The Qualys Threat Research Unit discovered several local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in needrestart, a utility to check which daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades. A local attacker can execute arbitrary code as root by tricking needrestart into running the Python interpreter with an attacker-controlled PYTHONPATH environment variable (CVE-2024-48990) or running the Ruby interpreter with an attacker-controlled RUBYLIB environment variable (CVE-2024-48992). Additionally a local attacker can trick needrestart into running a fake Python interpreter (CVE-2024-48991) or cause needrestart to call the Perl module Module::ScanDeps with attacker-controlled files (CVE-2024-11003).
Ubuntu Security Notice 7117-1 - Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands.
