Rocky Linux 9 : device-mapper-multipath (RLSA-2022:8453)

high Nessus Plugin ID 184635

Synopsis

The remote Rocky Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2022:8453 advisory.

 - A vulnerability was found in the device-mapper-multipath. The device-mapper-multipath allows local users to obtain root access, exploited alone or in conjunction with CVE-2022-41973. Local users that are able to write to UNIX domain sockets can bypass access controls and manipulate the multipath setup. This issue occurs because an attacker can repeat a keyword, which is mishandled when arithmetic ADD is used instead of bitwise OR. This could lead to local privilege escalation to root. (CVE-2022-3787)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
