USN-7117-1 caused some regression in needrestart.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7117-2 November 26, 2024 needrestart regression ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 24.10 - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: USN-7117-1 caused some regression in needrestart. 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. (CVE-2024-48991) Qualys discovered that needrestart incorrectly used the RUBYLIB environment variable to spawn a new Ruby interpreter. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2024-48992) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected byupdating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.10 needrestart 3.6-8ubuntu4.3 Ubuntu 24.04 LTS needrestart 3.6-7ubuntu4.4 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS needrestart 3.5-5ubuntu2.3 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS needrestart 3.4-6ubuntu0.1+esm2 Available with Ubuntu Pro Ubuntu 18.04 LTS needrestart 3.1-1ubuntu0.1+esm2 Available with Ubuntu Pro Ubuntu 16.04 LTS needrestart 2.6-1ubuntu0.1~esm2 Available with Ubuntu Pro In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
