Software Description: - needrestart: check which daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades Details: USN-7117-1 fixed vulnerabilities in needrestart. The update introduced a regression in needrestart. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: Qualys discovered that needrestart passed unsanitized data to a library (libmodule-scandeps-perl) which expects safe input. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-11003) Qualys discovered that the library libmodule-scandeps-perl incorrectly parsed perl code. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands. (CVE-2024-10224) Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly used the PYTHONPATH environment variable to spawn a new Python interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-48990) Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly checked the path to the Python interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to win a race condition and execute arbitrary code as root.
