Beschreibung |
| product installs binaries with potentially insecure user/group ownership |
| File system sets wrong ownership and group when creating a new file. |
| OS installs program with bin owner/group, allowing modification. |
| Manager does not properly restore ownership of a reusable resource when a user logs out, allowing privilege escalation. |
| Backup software restores symbolic links with incorrect uid/gid. |
| Product changes the ownership of files that a symlink points to, instead of the symlink itself. |
| Component assigns ownership of sensitive directory tree to a user account, which can be leveraged to perform privileged operations. |
Mögliche Gegenmaßnahmen
Phases : Policy
Periodically review the privileges and their owners.
Erkennungsmethoden
Automated Analysis
Use automated tools to check for privilege settings.
Hinweise zur Schwachstellen-Zuordnung
Begründung : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Kommentar : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
