{"id":"AZL-11371","summary":"CVE-2022-41973 affecting package device-mapper-multipath for versions less than 0.8.6-4","details":"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.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:06:57.624140Z","published":"2022-10-29T18:15:12Z","upstream":["CVE-2022-41973"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-41973"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"device-mapper-multipath","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:2","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/device-mapper-multipath"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.8.6-4"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-11371.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
