Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU59695
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 8.5 [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:A/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0185
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the legacy_parse_param() function in fs/fs_context.c in Linux kernel. A local user can tun a specially crafted program to trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Install updates from vendor's website.

CVSSv4.0: 8.5 [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:A/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4034
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of the calling parameters count in the pkexec setuid binary, which causes the binary to execute environment variables as commands. A local user can craft environment variables in a way that they will be processed and executed by pkexec and execute arbitrary commands on the system as root.
