Uncontrolled search path in the QT Library before 5.14.0, 5.12.7 and 5.9.10 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable elevation of privilege via local access.

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2020:4690 advisory.

  - Qt through 5.14 allows an exponential XML entity expansion attack via a crafted SVG document that is     mishandled in QXmlStreamReader, a related issue to CVE-2003-1564. (CVE-2015-9541)

  - In Qt through 5.14.1, the WebSocket implementation accepts up to 2GB for frames and 2GB for messages.
    Smaller limits cannot be configured. This makes it easier for attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory consumption). (CVE-2018-21035)

  - Out of bounds write in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products on Windows 10 may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2020-0569)

  - Uncontrolled search path in the QT Library before 5.14.0, 5.12.7 and 5.9.10 may allow an authenticated     user to potentially enable elevation of privilege via local access. (CVE-2020-0570)

  - Qt 5.12.2 through 5.14.2, as used in unofficial builds of Mumble 1.3.0 and other products, mishandles     OpenSSL's error queue, which can cause a denial of service to QSslSocket users. Because errors leak in     unrelated TLS sessions, an unrelated session may be disconnected when any handshake fails. (Mumble 1.3.1     is not affected, regardless of the Qt version.) (CVE-2020-13962)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Security Fix(es) :

  - qt: files placed by attacker can influence the working     directory and lead to malicious code execution     (CVE-2020-0569)

  - qt: files placed by attacker can influence the working     directory and lead to malicious code execution     (CVE-2020-0570)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202003-60 (QtCore: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in QtCore. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    An attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of       the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

It was discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain PPM images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted PPM file, a remote attacker could cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-19872)

It was discovered that Qt incorrectly handled certain text files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted text file, a remote attacker could cause Qt to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.10.
(CVE-2019-18281)

It was discovered that Qt incorrectly searched for plugins in the current working directory. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-0569)

It was discovered that Qt incorrectly searched for libraries relative to the current working directory. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.10. (CVE-2020-0570).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Two security issues were found in the Qt library, which could result in plugins and libraries being loaded from the current working directory, resulting in potential code execution.
