CVE-2023-3899 – Subscription-manager: inadequate authorization of com.redhat.rhsm1 d-bus interface allows local users to modify configuration

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-3899

A vulnerability was found in subscription-manager that allows local privilege escalation due to inadequate authorization. The D-Bus interface com.redhat.RHSM1 exposes a significant number of methods to all users that could change the state of the registration. By using the com.redhat.RHSM1.Config.SetAll() method, a low-privileged local user could tamper with the state of the registration, by unregistering the system or by changing the current entitlements. This flaw allows an attacker to set arbitrary configuration directives for /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf, which can be abused to cause a local privilege escalation to an unconfined root. • https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4701 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4702 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4703 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4704 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4705 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4706 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4707 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4708 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-3899 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show • CWE-285: Improper Authorization CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization •
