Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper privilege management
EUVDB-ID: #VU101665
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 7.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-48651
CWE-ID:
CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management when handling users without assigned supplementary groups. If the user has no groups assigned to their account, the server will assume the GID of 0 for this account. As a result, the user will gain access to files and directories owned by the system root user and will be able to modify them at will, leading to privilege escalation and system compromise.
Update the affected package proftpd to the latest version.
