Positive Technologies (AI Summary)

CVSS v2.0

7.2

High

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: LuxMan version 0.41

Description: The issue allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the PATH environment variable to point to a Trojan horse gzip program, which is executed by LuxMan. This is possible because LuxMan uses the user-provided search path to find and execute the gzip program.

Recommendations: For LuxMan version 0.41, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the gzip program or setting a fixed PATH environment variable that points to the legitimate gzip program until a patch is available.
