In ReadLogicalParts of basicmbr.cc, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:3486 advisory.

    The gdisk packages provide the gdisk partitioning utility for GUID Partition     Table (GPT) disks. The utility features a command-line interface similar to     fdisk, direct manipulation of partition table structures, recovery tools to deal     with corrupt partition tables, and the ability to convert Master Boot Record     (MBR) disks to the GPT format.

    Security Fix(es):

    * gdisk: possible out-of-bounds-write in LoadPartitionTable of gpt.cc     (CVE-2020-0256)

    * gdisk: possible out-of-bounds-write in ReadLogicalParts of basicmbr.cc     (CVE-2021-0308)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5262-1 advisory.

    The potential for an out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check was discovered to impact the sgdisk     utility of GPT fdisk.

    Exploitation requires the use of a maliciously formatted storage

    device and could cause sgdisk to crash as well as possibly

    allow for local privilege escalation.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202105-03 (GPT fdisk: Integer underflow)

    It was discovered that ReadLogicalParts() function in basicmbr.cc was       missing a bounds check.
  Impact :

    A local attacker could entice a user to insert a malicious formatted       block device (USB stick or SD card for example), that, when processed       with sgdisk, possibly resulting in local escalation of privileges or a       Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

CVE-2020-0256

In LoadPartitionTable of gpt.cc, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.

CVE-2021-0308

In ReadLogicalParts of basicmbr.cc, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.1-1+deb9u1.
