Descriptions

Splunk Enterprise 6.6.x, when configured to run as root but drop privileges to a specific non-root account, allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to that non-root account to modify $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk-launch.conf and insert Trojan horse programs into $SPLUNK_HOME/bin, because the non-root setup instructions state that chown should be run across all of $SPLUNK_HOME to give non-root access.

Splunk Enterprise 6.6.x, cuando se configura para ser ejecutado como root pero dejando sus privilegios a una cuenta no root determinada, permite que usuarios locales obtengan privilegios aprovechando el acceso a esa cuenta no root para modificar $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk-launch.conf e insertar programas troyanhos en $SPLUNK_HOME/bin. Esto se debe a que las instrucciones de instalación no root especifican que se debe ejecutar chown en todo $SPLUNK_HOME para otorgar acceso no root.
