When the Drive for Desktop installer is run for the first time, it will place a binary in that directory with execute permissions and set its setuid bit. Since the attacker owns the directory, the attacker can replace the binary with a symlink, causing the installer to set the setuid bit on the symlink. When the symlink is executed, it will run with root permissions. We recommend upgrading past version 64.0" } ] }, "generator": { "engine": "Vulnogram 0.0.9" }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "LOW", "baseScore": 5.6, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-264 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://support.google.com/a/answer/7577057?hl=en", "name": "https://support.google.com/a/answer/7577057?hl=en" } ] }, "source": { "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
