Since the kernel's proc_pid_readdir() returns PID entries in ascending numeric order, a process occupying a high PID can use inotify events to determine when the process list is being scanned, and fork/exec to obtain a lower PID, thus avoiding enumeration. An unprivileged attacker can hide a process from procps-ng's utilities by exploiting a race condition in reading /proc/PID entries. This vulnerability affects procps and procps-ng up to version 3.3.15, newer versions might be affected also." } ] }, "impact" : { "cvss" : [ [ { "vectorString" : "3.9/CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L", "version" : "3.0" } ] ] }, "problemtype" : { "problemtype_data" : [ { "description" : [ { "lang" : "eng", "value" : "CWE-367" } ] } ] }, "references" : { "reference_data" : [ { "name" : "44806", "refsource" : "EXPLOIT-DB", "url" : "https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/44806/" }, { "name" : "[oss-security] 20180517 Qualys Security Advisory - Procps-ng Audit Report", "refsource" : "MLIST", "url" : "http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2018/q2/122" }, { "name" : "https://www.qualys.com/2018/05/17/procps-ng-audit-report-advisory.txt", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://www.qualys.com/2018/05/17/procps-ng-audit-report-advisory.txt" }, { "name" : "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2018-1121", "refsource" : "CONFIRM", "url" : "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2018-1121" }, { "name" : "GLSA-201805-14", "refsource" : "GENTOO", "url" : "https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201805-14" }, { "name" : "104214", "refsource" : "BID", "url" : "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/104214" } ] } }
