Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10143)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.

** DISPUTED ** It was discovered freeradius up to and including version 3.0.19 does not correctly configure logrotate, allowing a local attacker who already has control of the radiusd user to escalate his privileges to root, by tricking logrotate into writing a radiusd-writable file to a directory normally inaccessible by the radiusd user. NOTE: the upstream software maintainer has stated "there is simply no way for anyone to gain privileges through this alleged issue."
