| Improper Access Control in the program installation folder in NEC Corporation WebSAM Winshare Ver 7.5.0 and earlier (excluding Ver 7.3.3), Ver 7.6.0 and Ver 7.7.0 through 7.7.1 on Windows allows a locally authenticated low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via a crafted DLL file that is loaded by a SYSTEM-level process. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tun: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to attach to an ownerless device
Twenty years ago I made creating a tuntap device require CAP_NET_ADMIN
in commit ca6bb5d7ab22 ("[NET]: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tuntap
devices.")
The idea was to allow the permissions on /dev/net/tun to be relaxed to
0666 and thus allow owners of tun devices assigned with TUNSETOWNER to
actually open it and get at their devices.
What we missed at the time was that persistent devices with *no* owner
were already essentially world-consumable, and anyone who could open
the device node could also attach to those.
Even then, using persistent devices with no explicitly set owner — on
the (false) presumption that CAP_NET_ADMIN would be required to open
them — wasn't an egregious userspace bug. There are cases where it does
make sense to separate the creation/configuration of the netdevice, from
the process which shovels packets into it.
Since then, TUNSETGROUP was added a year later in commit 8c644623fe7e
("[NET]: Allow group ownership of TUN/TAP devices."). Its commit message
noted that if both uid and gid are set, both have to match (in itself a
bizarre choice) — but still not that with *neither* set, no permission
at all was required.
Then in 2012 commit c8d68e6be1c3 ("tuntap: multiqueue support") allowed
new queues to be attached to a device from the moment of its creation,
with no way for userspace to close the race between creation and a
subsequent TUNSET{OWNER,GROUP}.
In 2024, commit 3ca459eaba1bf ("tun: fix group permission check") tried
to fix things to be saner: only require the user *or* the group to
match, in line with standard POSIX permissions, and require
CAP_NET_ADMIN if neither the user nor group authorised the access
(although it put the CAP_NET_ADMIN check first, and would wrongly have
reported the capability as having been used even when it was not).
That fix was reverted in commit a70c7b3cbc06 ("tun: revert fix group
permission check") due to allegedly causing a regression in an selinux
test suite which *expected* the attachment to succeed when authorised
by none of user, group, nor CAP_NET_ADMIN:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAFqZXNtkCBT4f+PwyVRmQGoT3p1eVa01fCG_aNtpt6dakXncUg@mail.gmail.com/
We should not break UAPI. But we don't have to consider an selinux test
case which deliberately exercises a security flaw to be UAPI worth
preserving either. To which end, I have fixed it in selinux-testsuite
commit b2f894f0016b ("tests/tun_tap: set an owner on the device for the
relabel tests").
So: fix the lack of CAP_NET_ADMIN check on devices which *haven't* been
assigned an owner or group, while leaving the weird tun ownership model
as it was (user *and* group have to match, if both are set). If someone
still wants to fix the latter (which wasn't actually the reason the
previous attempt was reverted), they can do it under separate cover.
Permit attaching to an existing device only if an owner and/or group was
set and the caller matches all that were set, or if the caller has
CAP_NET_ADMIN. The only behavioural change is that a device with no
owner or group now requires CAP_NET_ADMIN to attach — precisely the
loophole we want to close.
And put the CAP_NET_ADMIN check in the right place this time. |
| Vikunja before 2.7.1 contains an insecure file permissions vulnerability that allows local users to read stored data because localStorage.Write creates blobs world-readable. Local attackers on a shared host can read attachments, project backgrounds and exports, and copy the SQLite database to crack password hashes offline. |
| Vikunja before 2.7.1 contains an insecure file permissions vulnerability that allows local users to read dump archives created with umask permissions by the vikunja dump command. Local attackers on a shared host can read the world-readable zip in the rootpath to obtain config, password hashes, TOTP secrets, tokens, and stored files. |
| A vulnerability was discovered in Samba, where the flaw allows SMB clients to truncate files, even with read-only permissions when the Samba VFS module "acl_xattr" is configured with "acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes". The SMB protocol allows opening files when the client requests read-only access but then implicitly truncates the opened file to 0 bytes if the client specifies a separate OVERWRITE create disposition request. The issue arises in configurations that bypass kernel file system permissions checks, relying solely on Samba's permissions. |
| Vulnerability in the Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics product of Oracle Supply Chain (component: Installation Issues). The supported version that is affected is 3.6.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics executes to compromise Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 5.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). |
| Local privilege escalation in `SmartUpdate.exe` and `SmartExecute.exe` in INFINITT Healthcare Co., Ltd. INFINITT PACS allows a local low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary commands with administrator privileges via modification of a world-writable `execlist.txt` command manifest that is processed during application updates. |
| IRISPowerscan contain an insecure default
configuration where the built-in installation account is assigned elevated
privileges with a predictable password, which could allow an unauthenticated
attacker to gain unauthorised access to privileged application functionality. |
| In HPE Cray Programming Environment versions 25.03 and 25.09, prior to 26.03, the method that CPE is deployed on HPCM potentially allows elevated access by a local unprivileged user. |
| GFI KerioConnect (Kerio Connect) Outlook Connector (Offline Edition), 'KOFF', before 10.0.9 Patch 2 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability caused by weak installer permissions that leave the product directory writable by the built-in Users group. A local non-administrative attacker can replace the searchd.exe service binary used by the bundled KOFFIndexingService, which runs as LocalSystem, to execute arbitrary code with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges upon the next service start or reboot. |
| A container privilege escalation flaw was found in certain Red Hat Process Automation Manager images. This issue stems from the /etc/passwd file being created with group-writable permissions during build time. In certain conditions, an attacker who can execute commands within an affected container, even as a non-root user, can leverage their membership in the root group to modify the /etc/passwd file. This could allow the attacker to add a new user with any arbitrary UID, including UID 0, leading to full root privileges within the container. |
| A flaw was found in libvirt. External inactive snapshots for shut-down VMs are incorrectly created as world-readable, making it possible for unprivileged users to inspect the guest OS contents. This results in an information disclosure vulnerability. |
| A vulnerability was found in Unbound due to incorrect default permissions, allowing any process outside the unbound group to modify the unbound runtime configuration. If a process can connect over localhost to port 8953, it can alter the configuration of unbound.service. This flaw allows an unprivileged attacker to manipulate a running instance, potentially altering forwarders, allowing them to track all queries forwarded by the local resolver, and, in some cases, disrupting resolving altogether. |
| A permissions issue was addressed with additional restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8, macOS Tahoe 26.6. A malicious app may be able to gain root privileges. |
| Notepad++ is a free and open-source source code editor. In versions 8.8.1 and prior, a privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Notepad++ v8.8.1 installer that allows unprivileged users to gain SYSTEM-level privileges through insecure executable search paths. An attacker could use social engineering or clickjacking to trick users into downloading both the legitimate installer and a malicious executable to the same directory (typically Downloads folder - which is known as Vulnerable directory). Upon running the installer, the attack executes automatically with SYSTEM privileges. This issue has been fixed and will be released in version 8.8.2. |
| Insecure permissions in Ghost Commander File Manager versionCode 479 allows unauthorized attackers to arbitrarily read and write files inside the commander's private storage. |
| Insecure permissions in the ContentProvider component of mhss1 MyBrain v3.1.0 allows unauthorized attackers to arbitrarily read another user's private notes/tasks/diary content. |
| Insecure permissions in the object/Page.java component of MBasov OMN Outline notes Markdown versionCode 3400 allows unauthorized attackers to arbitrarily write content into another user's private storage via a crafted payload. |
| Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC), versions prior to 6.14.54.0, contain an Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information Tampering. |
| Insecure permissions in Bander Notepad (bander.notepad) versionCode 12 allow unauthorized attackers to write and read notes in another user's' note database. |
