Updated multipath-tools packages fix security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 18 Mar 2024
Modification date: 18 Mar 2024
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 9
CVE: CVE-2022-41973 , CVE-2022-41974

Description

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. (CVE-2022-41973)
multipath-tools 0.7.0 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to
obtain root access, as exploited alone or in conjunction with
CVE-2022-41973. Local users able to write to UNIX domain sockets can
bypass access controls and manipulate the multipath setup. This can lead
to local privilege escalation to root. This occurs because an attacker
can repeat a keyword, which is mishandled because arithmetic ADD is used
instead of bitwise OR. (CVE-2022-41974)
