Positive Technologies (AI Summary)

CVSS v2.0

2.1

Low

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NetBSD versions 2.1 and earlier Linux versions 2.6.15 and earlier

Description The issue allows local users to bypass time setting restrictions and set the clock backwards by exploiting the securelevels implementation. This is achieved by setting the clock ahead to the maximum unixtime value, which then wraps around to the minimum value, and then setting it ahead to the desired time.

Recommendations For NetBSD versions 2.1 and earlier, consider upgrading to a newer version to resolve the issue. For Linux versions 2.6.15 and earlier, consider upgrading to a newer version to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the settimeofday() function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
