Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 ships the rpm for the Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) before 0.13.1 with a database that lacks checksum information, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass file integrity checks and modify certain files.

pam_krb5 2.2.14 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and earlier, when the existing_ticket option is enabled, uses incorrect privileges when reading a Kerberos credential cache, which allows local users to gain privileges by setting the KRB5CCNAME environment variable to an arbitrary cache filename and running the (1) su or (2) sudo program. NOTE: there may be a related vector involving sshd that has limited relevance.

An issue was discovered in Amanda 3.3.1. A user with backup privileges can trivially compromise a client installation. Amstar is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by users directly. It uses star to backup and restore data. It runs binaries with root permissions when parsing the command line argument --star-path.

ZoneMinder 1.23.3 on Fedora 10 sets the ownership of /etc/zm.conf to the apache user account, and sets the permissions to 0600, which makes it easier for remote attackers to modify this file by accessing it through a (1) PHP or (2) CGI script.

Red Hat Certificate System 7.2 uses world-readable permissions for password.conf and unspecified other configuration files, which allows local users to discover passwords by reading these files.

A certain Red Hat build script for nfs-utils before 1.0.9-35z.el5_2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 omits TCP wrappers support, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in HP Select Identity 4.00, 4.01, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, and 4.20 allow remote authenticated users to access other user accounts via unknown vectors, a different issue than CVE-2008-0214.

The VNC server implementation in QEMU, as used by Xen and possibly other environments, allows local users of a guest operating system to read arbitrary files on the host operating system via unspecified vectors related to QEMU monitor mode, as demonstrated by mapping files to a CDROM device. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The NFS client implementation in the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3, when a filesystem is mounted with the noacl option, checks permissions for the open system call via vfs_permission (mode bits) data rather than an NFS ACCESS call to the server, which allows local client processes to obtain a false success status from open calls that the server would deny, and possibly obtain sensitive information about file permissions on the server, as demonstrated in a root_squash environment. NOTE: it is uncertain whether any scenarios involving this issue cross privilege boundaries.

The check_privileges method in vmdb/app/controllers/application_controller.rb in ManageIQ, as used in Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine (CFME), allows remote authenticated users to bypass authorization and gain privileges by leveraging improper RBAC checking, related to the rbac_user_edit action.

A privilege escalation flaw was found in the Ansible Tower. When Tower before 3.0.3 deploys a PostgreSQL database, it incorrectly configures the trust level of postgres user. An attacker could use this vulnerability to gain admin level access to the database.

A vulnerability was found in libvirt >= 4.1.0 in the virtlockd-admin.socket and virtlogd-admin.socket systemd units. A missing SocketMode configuration parameter allows any user on the host to connect using virtlockd-admin-sock or virtlogd-admin-sock and perform administrative tasks against the virtlockd and virtlogd daemons.

It was discovered that EAP packages in certain versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux use incorrect permissions for /etc/sysconfig/jbossas configuration files. The file is writable to jboss group (root:jboss, 664). On systems using classic /etc/init.d init scripts (i.e. on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and earlier), the file is sourced by the jboss init script and its content executed with root privileges when jboss service is started, stopped, or restarted.

hald in Sun OpenSolaris snv_51 through snv_130 does not have the proc_audit privilege during unspecified attempts to write to the auditing log, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to avoid detection of changes to the set of connected hardware devices supporting the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) specification.

The Shibboleth authentication module 5.x before 5.x-3.4 and 6.x before 6.x-3.2, a module for Drupal, does not properly remove statically granted privileges after a logout or other session change, which allows physically proximate attackers to gain privileges by using an unattended web browser.

AIX builds of Eclipse OpenJ9 before 0.15.0 contain unused RPATHs which may facilitate code injection and privilege elevation by local users.

In kubelet v1.13.6 and v1.14.2, containers for pods that do not specify an explicit runAsUser attempt to run as uid 0 (root) on container restart, or if the image was previously pulled to the node. If the pod specified mustRunAsNonRoot: true, the kubelet will refuse to start the container as root. If the pod did not specify mustRunAsNonRoot: true, the kubelet will run the container as uid 0.

incron 0.5.5 does not initialize supplementary groups when running a process from a user's incrontabs, which causes the process to be run with the incrond supplementary groups and allows local users to gain privileges via an incrontab table.

An issue was discovered in Ivanti Workspace Control before 10.3.90.0. Local authenticated users with low privileges in a Workspace Control managed session can bypass Workspace Control security features configured for this session by resetting the session context.

NFSv4 in the Linux kernel 2.6.18, and possibly other versions, does not properly clean up an inode when an O_EXCL create fails, which causes files to be created with insecure settings such as setuid bits, and possibly allows local users to gain privileges, related to the execution of the do_open_permission function even when a create fails.

IBM DB2 8.1 before FP18 allows attackers to obtain unspecified access via a das command.

The NtUserConsoleControl function in win32k.sys in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 before SP1, allows local administrators to bypass unspecified "security software" and gain privileges via a crafted call that triggers an overwrite of an arbitrary memory location. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that 'the Administrator to SYSTEM "escalation" is not a security boundary we defend.

razorCMS before 0.4 uses weak permissions for (1) admin/core/admin_config.php, which allows local users to obtain the administrator's password hash and FTP user credentials; and (2) the root directory, (3) datastore/, and (4) admin/core/, which allows local users to have an unspecified impact.

The kill_something_info function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.28 does not consider PID namespaces when processing signals directed to PID -1, which allows local users to bypass the intended namespace isolation, and send arbitrary signals to all processes in all namespaces, via a kill command.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles calls to the LUAFV driver (luafv.sys), aka 'Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2019-0731, CVE-2019-0796, CVE-2019-0805, CVE-2019-0836, CVE-2019-0841.

Russ Allbery pam-krb5 before 3.13, as used by libpam-heimdal, su in Solaris 10, and other software, does not properly handle calls to pam_setcred when running setuid, which allows local users to overwrite and change the ownership of arbitrary files by setting the KRB5CCNAME environment variable, and then launching a setuid application that performs certain pam_setcred operations.

Linux-PAM before 1.0.4 does not enforce the minimum password age (MINDAYS) as specified in /etc/shadow, which allows local users to bypass intended security policy and change their passwords sooner than specified.

Improper permissions in the installer for Intel(R) Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) before version 10.1.1.45 may allow an authenticated user to escalate privilege via local access.

The name service cache daemon (nscd) in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris snv_50 through snv_104 does not properly check permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges and obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

Robin Rawson-Tetley Animal Shelter Manager (ASM) before 2.2.2 does not properly enforce the privileges of user accounts, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions by (1) opening unspecified screens, related to the "double click selector bug"; or modifying a (2) animal, (3) owner, (4) lost/found, (5) diary note, (6) owner donation, or (7) waiting list record, related to "change permissions" and the "new UI."

gitweb/gitweb.perl in gitweb in Git 1.6.x before 1.6.0.6, 1.5.6.x before 1.5.6.6, 1.5.5.x before 1.5.5.6, 1.5.4.x before 1.5.4.7, and other versions after 1.4.3 allows local repository owners to execute arbitrary commands by modifying the diff.external configuration variable and executing a crafted gitweb query.

Unspecified vulnerability in Condor before 7.0.5 allows attackers to execute jobs as other users via unknown vectors.

fs/open.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.22 does not properly strip setuid and setgid bits when there is a write to a file, which allows local users to gain the privileges of a different group, and obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact, by creating an executable file in a setgid directory through the (1) truncate or (2) ftruncate function in conjunction with memory-mapped I/O.

Unspecified vulnerability in Script Editor in Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 allows local users to cause the scripting dictionary to be written to arbitrary locations, related to an "insecure file operation" on temporary files.

The do_splice_from function in fs/splice.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.27 does not reject file descriptors that have the O_APPEND flag set, which allows local users to bypass append mode and make arbitrary changes to other locations in the file.

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, when running on Macintosh systems that restrict Office access to administrators, does not enforce this restriction for user ID 502, which allows local users with that ID to bypass intended security policy and access Office programs, related to permissions and ownership for certain directories.

The "Protect Worksheet" functionality in Mathsoft Mathcad 12 through 13.1, and PTC Mathcad 14, implements file access restrictions via a protection element in a gzipped XML file, which allows attackers to bypass these restrictions by removing this element.

Insufficient protection of the inter-process communication functions in ABB System 800xA for MOD 300 (all published versions) enables an attacker authenticated on the local system to inject data, allowing reads and writes to the controllers or cause windows processes to crash.

verifydb in Ingres 2.6, Ingres 2006 release 1 (aka 9.0.4), and Ingres 2006 release 2 (aka 9.1.0) on Linux and other Unix platforms sets the ownership or permissions of an iivdb.log file without verifying that it is the application's own log file, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by creating a symlink with an iivdb.log filename.

Unspecified vulnerability in the DB2 Administration Server (DAS) in the Core DAS function component in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 5 allows local users to gain privileges, aka a "FILE CREATION VULNERABILITY." NOTE: this may be the same as CVE-2007-5664.
