Описание
The modprobe child process in the ./debian/patches/load_ppp_generic_if_needed patch file incorrectly handled module loading. A local non-root attacker could exploit the MODPROBE_OPTIONS environment variable to read arbitrary root files. Fixed in 2.4.5-5ubuntu1.4, 2.4.5-5.1ubuntu2.3+esm2, 2.4.7-1+2ubuntu1.16.04.3, 2.4.7-2+2ubuntu1.3, 2.4.7-2+4.1ubuntu5.1, 2.4.7-2+4.1ubuntu6. Was ZDI-CAN-11504.
A flaw in the Linux ppp daemon functionality was found in the way possibility of unexpected loading ppp_generic module during ppp daemon startup.
Отчет
Red Hat Product Security does not consider this to be a vulnerability in a Red Hat product as this issue resides in Ubuntu specific patch. Moreover, the described problem that ppp daemon can load module ppp_generic on startup, and this considered to be potentially dangerous, because user can install fake ppp_generic module instead of real. However, only user with high privileges can install new ppp_generic module to correct path for modprobe, so if user have high privileges, then he can load any module he wants anyway.
