UIM LibUIM Environment Variables Privilege Escalation Weakness
Uim is reported prone to an privilege escalation weakness. It is reported that the Uim library will always trust user-supplied environment variables, and that this may be exploited in circumstances where the Uim library is linked to a setuid/setgid application. An attacker that has local interactive to a system that has a vulnerable application installed may potentially exploit this weakness to escalate privileges. |
