| Vetor | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OProfile versions 0.9.6 and earlier
Description
The issue allows local users to potentially gain privileges through shell metacharacters in certain arguments, including the
--vmlinux, --session-dir, and --xen arguments. This is related to the daemonrc file and the do save setup and do load setup functions.Recommendations
For OProfile versions 0.9.6 and earlier, consider restricting access to the
utils/opcontrol utility until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using shell metacharacters in the --vmlinux, --session-dir, and --xen arguments to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
