Debian Security Advisory 5366-1

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5366-1 - The Qualys Research Labs reported an authorization bypass (CVE-2022-41974) and a symlink attack (CVE-2022-41973) in multipath-tools, a set of tools to drive the Device Mapper multipathing driver, which may result in local privilege escalation.

snap-confine must_mkdir_and_open_with_perms() Race Condition

Qualys discovered a race condition (CVE-2022-3328) in snap-confine, a SUID-root program installed by default on Ubuntu. In this advisory,they tell the story of this vulnerability (which was introduced in February 2022 by the patch for CVE-2021-44731) and detail how they exploited it in Ubuntu Server (a local privilege escalation, from any user to root) by combining it with two vulnerabilities in multipathd (an authorization bypass and a symlink attack, CVE-2022-41974 and CVE-2022-41973).

Critical Ping Vulnerability Allows Remote Attackers to Take Over FreeBSD Systems

The maintainers of the FreeBSD operating system have released updates to remediate a security vulnerability impacting the ping module that could be potentially exploited to crash the program or trigger remote code execution. The issue, assigned the identifier CVE-2022-23093, impacts all supported versions of FreeBSD and concerns a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the ping service. "

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5731-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 5731-1 - It was discovered that multipath-tools incorrectly handled symlinks. A local attacker could possibly use this issue, in combination with other issues, to escalate privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.10. It was discovered that multipath-tools incorrectly handled access controls. A local attacker could possibly use this issue, in combination with other issues, to escalate privileges.

Leeloo Multipath Authorization Bypass / Symlink Attack

The Qualys Research Team has discovered authorization bypass and symlink vulnerabilities in multipathd. The authorization bypass was introduced in version 0.7.0 and the symlink vulnerability was introduced in version 0.7.7.

CVE-2022-41973: Release 0.9.2: Merge pull request #46 from openSUSE/queue · opensvc/multipath-tools

multipath-tools 0.7.7 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to obtain root access, as exploited in conjunction with CVE-2022-41974. Local users able to access /dev/shm can change symlinks in multipathd due to incorrect symlink handling, which could lead to controlled file writes outside of the /dev/shm directory. This could be used indirectly for local privilege escalation to root.
