{"id":"CVE-2022-41973","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":"2026-05-28T03:55:47.078557010Z","published":"2022-10-29T00:00:00Z","related":["ALSA-2023:2459","ALSA-2023:2948","SUSE-SU-2022:3707-1","SUSE-SU-2022:3708-1","SUSE-SU-2022:3709-1","SUSE-SU-2022:3710-1","SUSE-SU-2022:3711-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:12443-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"mitre","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/41xxx/CVE-2022-41973.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/169611/Leeloo-Multipath-Authorization-Bypass-Symlink-Attack.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/170176/snap-confine-must_mkdir_and_open_with_perms-Race-Condition.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/10/24/2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/opensvc/multipath-tools/releases/tag/0.9.2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.qualys.com/2022/10/24/leeloo-multipath/leeloo-multipath.txt"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/41xxx/CVE-2022-41973.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/QIGZM5NOOMFDCITOLQEJNNX5SCRQLQVV/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-41973"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202311-06"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5366"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202739"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2022/Dec/4"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2022/Oct/25"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/11/30/2"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2022/12/msg00037.html"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/opensvc/multipath-tools","events":[{"introduced":"386d288b5595fc2c01dffe698b6eb306c6674908"},{"fixed":"66664cdb52f548b821b2ea28e49613c068e9375d"}]}],"versions":["0.9.1","0.9.0","0.8.9","0.8.8","0.8.7","0.8.6","0.8.5","0.8.4","0.8.3","0.8.2","0.8.1","0.8.0","0.7.9","0.7.8","0.7.7"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-41973.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
