CVE-2019-12577
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-12577
A vulnerability in the London Trust Media Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN Client v82 for macOS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The macOS binary openvpn_launcher.64 is setuid root. This binary creates /tmp/pia_upscript.sh when executed. Because the file creation mask (umask) is not reset, the umask value is inherited from the calling process. This value can be manipulated to cause the privileged binary to create files with world writable permissions. • https://github.com/mirchr/security-research/blob/master/vulnerabilities/PIA/CVE-2019-12577.txt • CWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource •
CVE-2019-12579
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-12579
A vulnerability in the London Trust Media Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN Client v82 for Linux and macOS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The PIA Linux/macOS binary openvpn_launcher.64 binary is setuid root. This binary accepts several parameters to update the system configuration. These parameters are passed to operating system commands using a "here" document. The parameters are not sanitized, which allow for arbitrary commands to be injected using shell metacharacters. • https://github.com/mirchr/security-research/blob/master/vulnerabilities/PIA/CVE-2019-12579.txt • CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') •
CVE-2019-12575
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2019-12575
A vulnerability in the London Trust Media Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN Client v82 for Linux could allow an authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The root_runner.64 binary is setuid root. This binary executes /opt/pia/ruby/64/ruby, which in turn attempts to load several libraries under /tmp/ruby-deploy.old/lib. A local unprivileged user can create a malicious library under this path to execute arbitrary code as the root user. Una vulnerabilidad en el cliente VPN de Private Internet Access (PIA) de London Trust Media para Linux, podría permitir a un atacante local autenticado ejecutar código arbitrario con privilegios elevados. • https://github.com/mirchr/security-research/blob/master/vulnerabilities/PIA/CVE-2019-12575.txt • CWE-427: Uncontrolled Search Path Element •
