A log spoofing flaw was found in the Tuned package due to improper sanitization of some API arguments. This flaw allows an attacker to pass a controlled sequence of characters; newlines can be inserted into the log. Instead of the 'evil' the attacker could mimic a valid TuneD log line and trick the administrator. The quotes '' are usually used in TuneD logs citing raw user input, so there will always be the ' character ending the spoofed input, and the administrator can easily overlook this. This logged string is later used in logging and in the output of utilities, for example, `tuned-adm get_instances` or other third-party programs that use Tuned's D-Bus interface for such operations.

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the tuned-2.24.0-2.el9 build changelog.

  - A script injection vulnerability was identified in the Tuned package. The `instance_create()` D-Bus     function can be called by locally logged-in users without authentication. This flaw allows a local non-     privileged user to execute a D-Bus call with `script_pre` or `script_post` options that permit arbitrary     scripts with their absolute paths to be passed. These user or attacker-controlled executable scripts or     programs could then be executed by Tuned with root privileges that could allow attackers to local     privilege escalation. (CVE-2024-52336)
