Descriptions
procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to multiple integer overflows leading to a heap corruption in file2strvec function. This allows a privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which could result in crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities run by other users.
procps-ng en versiones anteriores a la 3.3.15 es vulnerable a múltiples desbordamientos de enteros que conducen a una corrupción de la memoria dinámica (heap) en la función file2strvec. Esto permite el escalado de privilegios para un atacante local que puede crear entradas en procfs empezando procesos, lo que podría resultar en cierres inesperados o la ejecución de código arbitrario en las utilidades proc ejecutadas por otros usuarios.
Multiple integer overflows leading to heap corruption flaws were discovered in file2strvec(). These vulnerabilities can lead to privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which will lead to crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities run by other users (eg pgrep, pkill, pidof, w).
Qualys performed an extensive audit of procps-ng. They discovered hundreds of bugs and vulnerabilities.
