Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.131126 |
Category: | Mageia Linux Local Security Checks |
Title: | Mageia Linux Local Check: mgasa-2015-0443 |
Summary: | Mageia Linux Local Security Checks mgasa-2015-0443 |
Description: | Summary: Mageia Linux Local Security Checks mgasa-2015-0443 Vulnerability Insight: An unauthorized privilege escalation was found in sudoedit in sudo before 1.8.15 when a user is granted with root access to modify a particular file that could be located in a subset of directories. It seems that sudoedit does not check the full path if a wildcard is used twice (e.g. /home/*/*/file.txt), allowing a malicious user to replace the file.txt real file with a symbolic link to a different location (e.g. /etc/shadow), which results in unauthorized access (CVE-2015-5602). The sudo package has been updated to version 1.8.15, which fixes this issue, and also includes many other bug fixes and changes. See the upstream change log for details. Solution: Update the affected packages to the latest available version. CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
