2) Improper Authorization
EUVDB-ID: #VU68722
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [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:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41974
CWE-ID:
CWE-285 - Improper Authorization
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrectly implemented authorization process within multipathd daemon. A local unprivileged user can bypass build-in authorization and execute privileged commands on the system.
Update the affected package multipath-tools to the latest version.
