The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - amanda: runtar: crafted arguments can lead to local privilege escalation (CVE-2022-37705)

  - In Amanda 3.5.1, an information leak vulnerability was found in the calcsize SUID binary. An attacker can     abuse this vulnerability to know if a directory exists or not anywhere in the fs. The binary will use     `opendir()` as root directly without checking the path, letting the attacker provide an arbitrary path.
    (CVE-2022-37703)

  - Amanda 3.5.1 allows privilege escalation from the regular user backup to root. The SUID binary located at     /lib/amanda/rundump will execute /usr/sbin/dump as root with controlled arguments from the attacker which     may lead to escalation of privileges, denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2022-37704)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3880 advisory.

The remote openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2023:0069-1 advisory.

  - A privilege escalation flaw was found in Amanda 3.5.1 in which the backup user can acquire root     privileges. The vulnerable component is the runtar SUID program, which is a wrapper to run /usr/bin/tar     with specific arguments that are controllable by the attacker. This program mishandles the arguments     passed to tar binary (it expects that the argument name and value are separated with a space; however,     separating them with an equals sign is also supported), (CVE-2022-37705)

  - Amanda 3.5.1 allows privilege escalation from the regular user backup to root. The SUID binary located at     /lib/amanda/rundump will execute /usr/sbin/dump as root with controlled arguments from the attacker which     may lead to escalation of privileges, denial of service, and information disclosure. (CVE-2022-37704)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5966-1 advisory.

    Maher Azzouzi discovered an information disclosure vulnerability in the calcsize binary within amanda.
    calcsize is a suid binary owned by root that could possibly be used by a malicious local attacker to     expose sensitive file system information. (CVE-2022-37703)

    Maher Azzouzi discovered a privilege escalation vulnerability in the rundump binary within amanda. rundump     is a suid binary owned by root that did not perform adequate sanitization of environment variables or     commandline options and could possibly be used by a malicious local attacker to escalate privileges.
