Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Python - CVE-2022-42919

Vulnerability identifier: #VU69391

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42919

CWE-ID: CWE-502

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to Python multiprocessing library, when used with the forkserver start method on Linux allows pickles to be deserialized from any user in the same machine local network namespace, which in many system configurations means any user on the same machine.A local user can execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the any forkserver process.
