The prerequisite is a SUID binary that sets real UID equal to effective UID, and real GID equal to effective GID. The descendant will then have a dumpable value set to 1. As a result, if the descendant process crashes and core_pattern is set to a relative value, its core dump is stored in the current directory with uid:gid permissions. An unprivileged local user with eligible root SUID binary could use this flaw to place core dumps into root-owned directories, potentially resulting in escalation of privileges." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-284 - Improper Access Control", "cweId": "CWE-284" } ] } ] }, "affects": { "vendor": { "vendor_data": [ { "vendor_name": "n/a", "product": { "product_data": [ { "product_name": "kernel", "version": { "version_data": [ { "version_affected": "=", "version_value": "Not Known" } ] } } ] } } ] } }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "url": "https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/10/20/2", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2021/10/20/2" }, { "url": "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015046", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015046" }, { "url": "https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-3864", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-3864" }, { "url": "https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2021-3864", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2021-3864" }, { "url": "https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211221021744.864115-1-longman%40redhat.com/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211221021744.864115-1-longman%40redhat.com/" }, { "url": "https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211226150310.GA992%401wt.eu/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211226150310.GA992%401wt.eu/" }, { "url": "https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211228170910.623156-1-wander%40redhat.com/", "refsource": "MISC", "name": "https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211228170910.623156-1-wander%40redhat.com/" } ] } }
