Rocky Linux 8 : device-mapper-multipath (RLSA-2022:7192)

high Nessus Plugin ID 167819

Synopsis

The remote Rocky Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2022:7192 advisory.

 - multipath-tools 0.7.0 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to obtain root access, as exploited alone or in conjunction with CVE-2022-41973. Local users able to write to UNIX domain sockets can bypass access controls and manipulate the multipath setup. This can lead to local privilege escalation to root.
 This occurs because an attacker can repeat a keyword, which is mishandled because arithmetic ADD is used instead of bitwise OR. (CVE-2022-41974)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
