Christian Pietsch<p>Lately I've been doing more <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> again due to the current situation.

Christian Pietsch<p>In letzter Zeit mache ich aus gegebenem Anlass wieder mehr <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a>.

Habr<p>Linux LPE через Needrestart (CVE-2024-48990)</p><p>19 ноября 2024 года компания Qualys публично раскрыла информацию о пяти уязвимостях в утилите Needrestart . Эти уязвимости касаются локальной эскалации привилегий( LPE ) и были найдены в бинарном файле. CVE-2024-48990 затрагивает версии Needrestart до 3.8 . В Ubuntu она применяется по умолчанию с версии 21.04 . Также проблема актуальна для Debian , Fedora и других дистрибутивов Linux . LPE ( Local Privilege Escalation ) позволяет злоумышленнику повысить свои привилегии в системе, получив доступ к действиям, доступным только администраторам (например, root -доступ). Это может использоваться для установки вредоносного ПО, управления системой, обхода ограничений безопасности и доступа к конфиденциальным данным. Основная цель — получить полный контроль над системой. Уязвимость имеет оценку в 7.8 баллов по CVSS .</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/articles/866582/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">habr.com/ru/articles/866582/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/lpe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lpe</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/needrestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>needrestart</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/cve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cve</span></a> #2024</p>

Habr<p>Security Week 2448: десятилетняя уязвимость в утилите needrestart</p><p>На прошлой неделе специалисты компании Qualys сообщили об обнаружении достаточно серьезной уязвимости в утилите needrestart . Данная утилита используется, в частности, в ОС Ubuntu Server начиная с версии 21.04 и запускается после установки и обновления программных пакетов. Ее задача — определить, что система или отдельные программы должны быть перезапущены в результате произведенных в системе изменений и инициировать перезапуск. Ошибки в коде программы обеспечивают сразу несколько способов выполнения произвольного кода. В результате получается надежное средство повышения привилегий обычного пользователя до root, так как сама needrestart выполняется с привилегиями суперпользователя. Формально в утилите были зафиксированы пять разных уязвимостей. Часть из них получила достаточно высокий рейтинг по шкале CVSS — 7,8 балла. Все уязвимости закрыты в версии needrestart 3.8, причем существовали они как минимум начиная с версии 0.8, выпущенной в 2014 году. Именно тогда в утилиту была добавлена возможность отслеживания интерпретаторов языков высокого уровня. Если сам интерпретатор был обновлен, вполне логично, что необходимо перезапустить программы на этом языке программирования. Отсутствие необходимых проверок позволяет в теории запустить не настоящий, установленный в системе, интерпретатор кода на языке Python или Ruby, а произвольную программу, путь к которой может задать атакующий.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/companies/kaspersky/articles/861020/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">habr.com/ru/companies/kaspersk</span><span class="invisible">y/articles/861020/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ubuntu</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/needrestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>needrestart</span></a></p>
