CVE Descriptions

The Linux kernel 2.6.33.2 and earlier, when a ReiserFS filesystem exists, does not restrict read or write access to the .reiserfs_priv directory, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying (1) extended attributes or (2) ACLs, as demonstrated by deleting a file under .reiserfs_priv/xattrs/.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

#!/usr/bin/env python ''' team-edward.py Linux Kernel <= 2.6.34-rc3 ReiserFS xattr Privilege Escalation Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org> http://jon.oberheide.org Information: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=568041 The kernel allows processes to access the internal ".reiserfs_priv" directory at the top of a reiserfs filesystem which is used to store xattrs. Permissions are not enforced in that tree, so unprivileged users can view and potentially modify the xattrs on arbitrary files. Usage: $ python team-edward.py [+] checking for reiserfs mount with user_xattr mount option [+] checking for private xattrs directory at /.reiserfs_priv/xattrs [+] preparing shell in /tmp [+] capturing pre-shell snapshot of private xattrs directory [+] compiling shell in /tmp [+] setting dummy xattr to get reiserfs object id [+] capturing post-shell snapshot of private xattrs directory [+] found 1 new object ids [+] setting cap_setuid/cap_setgid capabilities on object id 192B.1468 [+] spawning setuid shell... # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=4(adm), ... Notes: Obviously requires a ReiserFS filesystem mounted with extended attributes. Tested on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.10.
