Descriptions

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Joyent Smart Data Center prior to agentsshar@1.0.0-release-20160901-20160901T051624Z-g3fd5adf (e469cf49-4de3-4658-8419-ab42837916ad). An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the docker API. The process does not properly validate user-supplied data which can allow for the upload of arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-3853.

Esta vulnerabilidad permite que atacantes remotos ejecuten código arbitrario en instalaciones vulnerables de Joyent Smart Data Center anteriores a agentsshar@1.0.0-release-20160901-20160901T051624Z-g3fd5adf (e469cf49-4de3-4658-8419-ab42837916ad). En primer lugar, un atacante debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código de bajos privilegios en el sistema objetivo para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. Este error en concreto existe en la API de docker. El proceso no valida correctamente los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede permitir la subida de archivos arbitrarios. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de root. Anteriormente era ZDI-CAN-3853.
