AlienVault OTX Vulnerabilities

AlienVault OTX Malware

In the ebuild package through smokeping-2.7.3-r1 for SmokePing on Gentoo, the initscript allows the smokeping user to gain ownership of any file, allowing for the smokeping user to gain root privileges. There is a race condition involving /var/lib/smokeping and chown.

CVE-2016-20015 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting the SmokePing monitoring tool, specifically in the ebuild package for Gentoo Linux (version smokeping-2.7.3-r1). The vulnerability arises from a race condition in the initialization script related to the /var/lib/smokeping directory and the use of the chown command. This race condition allows the unprivileged 'smokeping' user to gain ownership of arbitrary files on the system. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker with access as the smokeping user can escalate privileges to root, effectively compromising the entire system. The root cause is a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition (CWE-362), where the ownership of files can be changed between the check and the actual operation, enabling unauthorized file ownership changes. The CVSS v3.1 score is 7.5, reflecting a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with network attack vector, requiring low privileges but no user interaction. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to its potential for privilege escalation on affected systems running Gentoo with this specific SmokePing version. The vulnerability is particularly critical because it allows an attacker to bypass normal privilege boundaries and gain root access, which can lead to full system compromise, data theft, or disruption of monitoring services.
