Debian 9 DLA-2596-1 Critical: Shadow Suite Privilege Escalation Risk

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the shadow suite of login tools. An attacker may escalate privileges in specific configurations. CVE-2017-20002 . - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-2596-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Sylvain Beucler March 17, 2021 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : shadow Version : 1:4.4-4.1+deb9u1 CVE ID : CVE-2017-12424 CVE-2017-20002 Debian Bug : 756630 914957 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the shadow suite of login tools. An attacker may escalate privileges in specific configurations. CVE-2017-20002 Shadow incorrectly lists pts/0 and pts/1 as physical terminals in /etc/securetty. This allows local users to login as password-less users even if they are connected by non-physical means such as SSH (hence bypassing PAM's nullok_secure configuration). This notably affects environments such as virtual machines automatically generated with a default blank root password, allowing all local users to escalate privileges. It should be noted however that /etc/securetty will be dropped in Debian 11/bullseye. CVE-2017-12424 The newusers tool could be made to manipulate internal data structures in ways unintended by the authors. Malformed input may lead to crashes (with a buffer overflow or other memory corruption) or other unspecified behaviors. This crosses a privilege boundary in, for example, certain web-hosting environments in which a Control Panel allows an unprivileged user account to create subaccounts. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1:4.4-4.1+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your shadow packages.
