Descriptions

In BMC Patrol before 9.13.10.02, the binary "listguests64" is configured with the setuid bit. However, when executing it, it will look for a binary named "virsh" using the PATH environment variable. The "listguests64" program will then run "virsh" using root privileges. This allows local users to elevate their privileges to root.

En BMC Patrol en versiones anteriores a 9.13.10.02 el binario "listguests64" está configurado con el bit setuid. Sin embargo, cuando se ejecuta, buscará un binario llamado "virsh" usando la variable de entorno PATH. El programa "listguests64" ejecutará entonces "virsh" usando los privilegios de root. Esto permite a usuarios locales elevar sus privilegios a root.
