| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
glibc versions prior to 2.20
Description
The issue concerns multiple vulnerabilities in the GNU C Library (glibc) that can lead to the bypass of ForceCommand restrictions, potentially resulting in unauthorized access to sensitive information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. The exploitation may involve the use of locale environment variables such as LC *, LANG, and others, where an attacker could use a .. (dot dot) to traverse directories. This could have unspecified impacts on the system's security.
Recommendations
For glibc versions prior to 2.20, update to version 2.20 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive directories and limiting the use of locale environment variables to minimize the risk of exploitation.
