    -------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3250-1                debian-lts@lists.debian.org     https://www.debian.org/lts/security/                         Tobias Frost     December 29, 2022                             https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

    Package        : multipath-tools     Version        : 0.7.9-3+deb10u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2022-41973 CVE-2022-41974     Debian Bug     : 1022742

    Multiple issues were found in multipath-tools, a tool-chain to manage disk     multipath device maps, which may be used by local attackers to obtain root     privileges or create a directories or overwrite files via symlink attacks.

    Please note that the fix for CVE-2022-41973 involves switching from     /dev/shm to systemd-tmpfiles (/run/multipath-tools).
    If you have previously accesssed /dev/shm directly, please update your     setup to the new path to facilitate this change.


    CVE-2022-41973

        multipath-tools 0.7.7 through 0.9.x before 0.9.2 allows local users to         obtain root access, as exploited in conjunction with CVE-2022-41974.
        Local users able to access /dev/shm can change symlinks in multipathd         due to incorrect symlink handling, which could lead to controlled file         writes outside of the /dev/shm directory. This could be used indirectly         for local privilege escalation to root.

    CVE-2022-41974

        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.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     0.7.9-3+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your multipath-tools packages.
