Description

1) Authorization bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-13259)

CWE-ID: CWE-862 - Missing Authorization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute a program without proper authorization on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper truncating of shebang (#!) lines that exceed 64 characters. A local attacker can access the shell and submit a shebang line longer than 64 characters, cause the software to make an execve() call to a program name that is a substring of the intended one and execute a program without proper authorization on the system.
