Qualys discovered that if unsanitized input was used with the library Modules::ScanDeps, before version 1.36 a local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary shell commands by open()ing a "pesky pipe" (such as passing "commands|" as a filename) or by passing arbitrary strings to eval().

The remote Fedora 40 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-8adf4a4b24 advisory.

The version of perl-Module-ScanDeps installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-10224 advisory.

  - Qualys discovered that if unsanitized input was used with the library Modules::ScanDeps, before version     1.36 a local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary shell commands by open()ing a pesky pipe (such as     passing commands| as a filename) or by passing arbitrary strings to eval().

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7117-1 advisory.

    Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library

    (libmodule-scandeps-perl) which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to     execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-11003)

    Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly

    parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. (CVE-2024-10224)

    Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly used the PYTHONPATH

    environment variable to spawn a new Python interpreter. A local attacker

    could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root.

    (CVE-2024-48990)

    Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly checked the path to the Python interpreter. A local     attacker could possibly use this issue to win a race condition and execute arbitrary code as root.
    (CVE-2024-48991)

    Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly used the RUBYLIB environment variable to spawn a new Ruby     interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root.
    (CVE-2024-48992)
