NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200409-18.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-18 (cdrtools: Local root vulnerability in cdrecord if set SUID root) Max Vozeler discovered that the cdrecord utility, when set to SUID root, fails to drop root privileges before executing a user-supplied RSH program. By default, Gentoo does not ship the cdrecord utility as SUID root and therefore is not vulnerable. However, many users (and CD-burning front-ends) set this manually after installation. Impact : A local attacker could specify a malicious program using the $RSH environment variable and have it executed by the SUID cdrecord, resulting in root privileges escalation. Workaround : As a workaround, you could remove the SUID rights from your cdrecord utility : # chmod a-s /usr/bin/cdrecord last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 14746 published 2004-09-16 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/14746 title GLSA-200409-18 : cdrtools: Local root vulnerability in cdrecord if set SUID root code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200409-18. # # The advisory text is Copyright (C) 2001-2015 Gentoo Foundation, Inc. # and licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution / Share Alike # license.
